Comment on "Electron spin resonance and collective excitations in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene"

This comment pertains the recent manuscript by Morissette {\it et al.} [arXiv:2206.08354v1]. The authors claim to have found signatures of collective excitations in electron spin resonance experiments that would be linked to the correlated structure of magic angle bilayer graphene. However, identical resonance features have already been reported in previous works on mono- and few-layer graphene, voiding their theoretical framework. A straight forward theoretical picture within the single-particle topologically non-trivial band structure of graphene delivers satisfactory explanations for the observation of the resonant features and applies as well to the data presented by Morissette {\it et al.}. However, this intuitive picture has been disregarded by the authors.
