## TL;DR

This paper critiques recent definitions of the partition function in quantum Regge calculus, proposing a more natural alternative that correctly reproduces known results in one dimension.

## Contribution

It introduces a revised definition of the partition function in quantum Regge calculus that addresses previous inaccuracies.

## Key findings

- The new definition aligns with expected results in one-dimensional cases.
- Previous definitions led to incorrect conclusions about Regge calculus.
- The approach suggests potential improvements for higher-dimensional cases.

## Abstract

We argue that the definition of the partition function used recently to demonstrate the failure of Regge calculus is wrong. In fact, in the one-dimensional case, we show that there is a more natural definition, with which one can reproduce the correct results.
