contents In arXiv:2508.02747 a theory that unifies gravity and the Standard Model was proposed. It is finite, unitary, and accurately predicts all parameters of the Standard Model in terms of only two input parameters. Here I point out one prediction that was overlooked, namely that the photon acquires a mass at one loop due to the lack of gauge invariance in the nonlocal interaction vertices of the proposed model. In a second iteration, a red herring concerning Wick rotation is clarified, and the difficulties relating to gauge invariance in the theory are further spelled out. I point out that their model apparently has a domain wall problem.
