contents A recent paper, Phys. Rev. Research 8, 013261 (2026), claims that the polaromechanical normal-mode splitting (NMS) measured in Nat. Commun. 16, 5652 (2025) is not true based on their two results: $i$) there is no true splitting in the linear-scale spectrum; $ii$) the total or intrinsic decay rate of the cavity-magnon polariton, set by the imaginary part of the pole of the total output spectrum, remains unchanged under the coherent-perfect-absorption (CPA) condition. In this comment, we indicate that $i$) there is NMS in both the linear and logarithmic scales of our spectra in {\it a narrow frequency range} around the CPA frequency; $ii$) the total decay rate defined via the {\it pole} of the spectrum cannot characterize the vanishing {\it effective} decay rate at the CPA frequency (known as the monochromaticity of the CPA), and thus this parameter is irrelevant to the NMS measured in our experiment in {\it a narrow frequency range} around the CPA frequency. Consequently, their results above are either false or irrelevant, and thus cannot support their claim on the polaromechanical strong coupling measured in our experiment.
