Acknowledgments

This closure was greatly improved through many insightful discussions with Dr. Scott McDougall. We were greatly saddened by the passing of Oldrich Hungr last year. He was an insightful researcher, a patient advisor, and a great mentor. He approached scientific debate with respect, an open mind, and good humor, and we agree that he would have welcomed this discussion. He was an integral part of this work, and his insight into the present discussion is greatly missed.
