Fooling pairs are one of the standard methods for proving lower bounds for deterministic two-player communication complexity. We study fooling pairs in the context of randomized communication complexity.We show that every fooling pair induces far away distributions on transcripts of private-coin protocols. We then conclude that the private-coin randomized -error communication complexity of a function f with a fooling set is at least order loglog. This is tight, for example, for the equality and greater-than functions.
