This study presents a significant advancement in antihydrogen spectroscopy, but a couple of areas could use further clarification. The experimental setup demonstrates impressive precision, but how do potential systematic uncertainties, such as trap-induced energy shifts or residual magnetic field inhomogeneities, impact the measured hyperfine transitions?

Additionally, while the methodology achieves a remarkable 70-fold improvement in data collection efficiency, how does this approach compare to alternative high-precision techniques used in hydrogen spectroscopy?
