Comment on the paper "On the correlation between the local dark matter and stellar velocities"

We briefly comment on the paper “On the correlation between the local dark matter and stellar velocities” (Bozorgnia et al. 2018), which purports to test our previous claims regarding the correlation of stellar and dark matter kinematics (Herzog-Arbeitman et al. 2017; Necib et al. 2018). The conclusions of these papers are not accurately presented in Bozorgnia et al. (2018), and we thus clarify them here.
