We consider small random perturbations of the standard high-symmetry tunneling potentials in the Bistritzer-MacDonald Hamiltonian describing twisted bilayer graphene. Using methods developed by Sj\"ostrand for studying the spectral asymptotics of non-selfadjoint pseudo-differential operators, we prove that for sufficiently small twisting angles the Hamiltonian will not exhibit a flat band with overwhelming probability, and hence the absence of the so-called \textit{magic angels}. Moreover, we prove a probabilistic Weyl law for the eigenvalues of the non-selfadjoint tunneling operator, subject to small random perturbations, of the Bistritzer-MacDonald Hamiltonian in the chiral limit.

Weyl laws for exponentially small singular values of the $\overline{\partial}$ operator
The number of exponentially small singular values of the weighted ∂-bar operator obeys a Weyl-type asymptotic law whose coefficient is computed from the solution of a double obstacle problem.
