The $R_H = ct$ cosmological model has received considerable attention in recent years owing to claims that it is favoured over the standard $\Lambda$CDM model by most observational data. A key feature of the $R_H = ct$ model is that the zero active mass condition $\rho + 3p = 0$ holds at all epochs. Most recently, Melia has claimed that this condition is a requirement of the symmetries of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime. We demonstrate that this claim is false and results from a flaw in the logic of Melia’s argument.
