  In Shohat et al. [1], the authors present a study of the aging dynamics for
crumpling sheets of mylar after a constant load is applied. Those experiments
are modeled with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a network of randomly
bistable elements. While such a specific model may well account for the
microscopic origins of the aging phenomenology in a large class of disordered
systems, we note that the observed temporal behavior is far more universal [2,
3, 4]. We show here that it is but another example of a system generically
exhibiting a statistic of records (i.e., record dynamics) that can be analyzed
as a log-Poisson process [5], an effective means to discriminate between models
[6]. To this end, we can defer to the keen observations by the authors as well
as employ the LAMMPS [7] script they have provided.
