review text: The author comments on a result by \textit{P. Lounesto} [Adv. Appl. Clifford Algebr. 6, No. 1, 69-104 (1996; Zbl 0863.15012)] concerning the fact that it is possible to define the logarithm of certain vectors in the Clifford algebras \(Cl(n, 0)\). It is explicitly shown that the logarithm concept in the context of Clifford algebras is of limited utility and that its use requires caution.
