We comment on the recent paper by Martinez-Valpuesta & Gerhard(arXiv:1105.0928, 2011), who suggest, as an alternative to the bulge + long barhypothesis in the inner 4 kpc of our Galaxy, a single boxy-bulge structure witha twisted major axis. In principle, we find this proposal acceptable; indeed,from a purely morphological point of view, this is more a question of semanticsthan science, and possibly all of us are talking about the same thing. However,we think that the particular features of this new proposal of a "single twistedbulge/bar" scenario leaves certain observational facts unexplained, whereas themodel of a misaligned bulge + long bar successfully explains them.
