Numerical solutions of the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) which has been associated with nonextensive q-statistics show that the available data on rapidity distributions for stopping in relativistic heavy-ion collisions cannot be reproduced with any permitted value of the nonextensivity parameter (1 < q < 1.5). This casts doubt on the nonextensivity concept that is widely used in relativistic heavy-ion physics.
