We comment on the claimed observation [arXiv:arXiv:2005.05301] of sterile neutrino oscillations by Neutrino-4 collaboration. Such a claim, which requires existence new fundamental particle, demands level rigor commensurate with its impact. The burden lies collaboration to provide information necessary prove validity their claim community. In this note, we describe aspects both data and analysis method that might lead an oscillation signature arising from null experiment additional needed support claim. Additionally, as opposed assertion made collaboration, also show 'coherent summation' using $L/E$ parameter produces similar results methods used PROSPECT STEREO collaborations.
