Note on "Collective Excitations of a Degenerate Gas at the BEC-BCS Crossover", Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 203201 (2004)

We present a reinterpretation of our previous results on the radial compression mode of a degenerate quantum gas in the BEC-BCS crossover in [1]. We show that our former data are consistent with other experimental and theoretical work, when the ellipticity of the optical trapping potential in [1] is properly taken into account.
