34. The notation may confuse, so we emphasize: (Formula presented) itself is not a maximized time. On the contrary. It is the characteristic time of a process at its maximal rate, so (Formula presented) itself is a minimum among characteristic times. Obviously, it is also not the time when the maximum occurs.
