contents In a recent paper (Phys. Rev. A 105, 042220 (2022)), Daley et al claim that some superdeterministic models are disfavoured against standard quantum mechanics, because such models overfit the statistics of a Bell-type experiment which the authors conducted. We add to the discussion by providing additional context about how few superdeterministic models fall into the category they analyse, and by emphasising that overfitting, while better as a measure of finetuning than other measures given in the literature, does not necessarily indicate a model is universally bad.
