We argue that the nonexistence of the canonical current operators for spinor fields follows from a very simple algebraic consideration. As a result, the well-known sum rules in deep inelastic scattering are not substantiated.18 pages, LaTeXHigh Energy Physics - TheoryCurrent Operators in Quantum Field Theory and Sum Rules in Deep Inelastic Scatteringtext
