Possible mechanisms of high-temperature superconductivity are briefly discussed. In particular, a recent paper by P W Anderson on this problem is criticized as containing a number of incorrect and unfounded statements. One of these — that the static dielectric function ε(q, 0) cannot be negative — is discussed in detail, as is its consequence, a strong limit on the transition temperature T_c. Proofs are given that ε(q, 0) not only can but indeed must be negative in many stable systems, including most of the conventional metals. Various types of electron-electron interaction in superconducting cuprates are discussed. The role of the electron-phonon interaction in cuprates is highlighted.
