Question Protons & anti-protons appear to have same magnetic moment - why did matter dominate?

In a 23 Oct 2017 article at Cosmos magazine, Cathal O'Connell reports that
researchers at CERN have made the most precise measurements to date
of the magnetic moment of an anti-proton.

The result - it appears to be identical to that of a proton.

So if antimatter didn't manage to annihilate matter at the Big Bang, it wasn't
because protons and anti-protons had different magnetic moments.

The work is also reported in an article in Nature :-
