    The main result of this interesting paper is contained in Theorem 1. It illustrates the richness of topological types in the class of \(4\)-manifolds: there are infinite families of closed, nonsimply connected, locally conformally flat \(4\)-manifolds, with Betti number growth: \(b_1\rightarrow \infty, b_1\rightarrow \infty\) or bounded, and \(\chi \rightarrow -\infty\). These manifolds have strictly negative scalar curvature.
