Commutators involve an even number of quarter turns. If you mean conjugates
only of
commutators then you can only solve cubes requiring an even number of quarter
turns to
solve. Thus you can't solve that scramble.
i.e. U cannot be solved using only commutators (and conjugates of commutators).
Stefan's post is to point out that restricting yourself in this way doesn't
allow for that
position to be solved.
