The titular manuscript invites a description of the background of research on MgB $ _2 $,
whose unique electron-phonon coupling strength and record superconducting T $ _c $ for
such a material at ambient pressure was demonstrated by the combined efforts of several
groups two decades ago in terms of conventional but highly developed Migdal-Eliashberg
theory. This Comment provides some of the basic features of the theoretical understanding
of MgB $ _2 $ and draws contrasts with the model of Yu {\it et al.}
