We apply the area decay law (ADL) straightforwardly to simulate a quark string hadronization and compare the results with the explicit analytic calculations. We show that the usual "inclusive" Monte Carlo simulations do not correspond to the ADL because of two mistakes: improper simulation of two-dimensional probability density and lack of an important combinatorial factor in a binary tree simulation. We also show how to simulate the area decay law "inclusively" avoiding the abovementioned mistakes.
