Abstract

In this brief note, we first give a counterexample to a theorem in Chernikov and Towsner, arXiv:2510.02420(1). In arXiv:2510.02420(2), the theorem has changed but as we explain the proof has a mistake. The change in the statement, due to changes in the underlying definition, affects the paper's claims. Since that theorem had been relevant to connecting the work of their paper to Coregliano-Malliaris high-arity PAC learning, a connection which now disappears, we also explain why their definitions miss crucial aspects that our work was designed to grapple with.
