It was shown in (1) that a complete set of bounded observables is metrically complete. However, an extra axiom was needed to prove this result (1, footnote, p. 436). In this note we prove the above-mentioned result without the extra axiom. We also show that there is an abundance of pure states if M is closed in the weak topology and give a necessary and sufficient condition for the latter to be the case.
