In two recent papers it is argued that the 'proton radius puzzle' can be explained by truncating the electron scattering data to low momentum transfer and fit the rms radius in the low momentum expansion of the form factor. It is shown that this procedure is inconsistent and violates the Fourier theorem. The puzzle cannot be explained in this way.
