Abstract
Fig. 2 of the Letter and a similar plot in another publication [1] caused us to carefully re-examine all of our code. Closer inspection of the plotting routines revealed an inadvertent rescaling of the 0 values by a factor of 1=2 for the orange dots (i.e., simulation results) in Fig. 2, which changes the plotted slope of ln by a factor of 1=4. This has the same effect as artificially adjusting the fluctuation amplitudes, as suggested in Hertzberg et al. [1]. The corrected figure is shown below.
