Puzzled by the indication of a new critical theory for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with a spatially staggered anisotropy on the square lattice as suggested in cite{Wenzel08}, we study a similar anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice. The critical point where the phase transition occurs due to the dimerization as well as the critical exponent $ u$ are analyzed in great detail. Remarkly, using most of the available data points in conjunction with the expected finite-size scaling ansatz with a sub-leading correction indeed leads to a consistent $ u = 0.691(2)$ with that calculated in cite{Wenzel08}. However by using the data with large number of spins $N$, we obtain $ u = 0.707(6)$ which agrees with the most accurate Monte Carlo O(3) value $ u = 0.7112(5)$ as well.
