This is a brief rebuttal to arXiv:1502.03821, which claims to provide the first observational proof of dark matter interior to the solar circle. We point out that this result is not new, and can be traced back at least a quarter century.
Comments: 3 pages, 2 figures. In this version we add a figure from a 1998 paper that shows the same result that arXiv:1502.03821 claims to be novel. We also add a short note rebutting arXiv:1503.08784 which was written in response to the first version
