contents We show that for any $Δ\geq 3$, there is no bound computable from $(\varepsilon, r)$ on the size of a graph required to approximate a graph of maximum degree at most $Δ$ up to $\varepsilon$ error in $r$-neighborhood statistics. This provides a negative answer to a question posed by Lovász. Our result is a direct consequence of the recent celebrated work of Bowen, Chapman, Lubotzky, and Vidick, which refutes the Aldous-Lyons conjecture.
