60. In fact, the table in Sec. VI might suggest that the change of parameters by 10% can lead to exponentially large changes in the final results. This is indeed the case for the processes if (Formula presented), where back reaction is not important. Meanwhile, for (Formula presented) back reaction makes the process terminate at a time which is somewhat less sensitive to the change of parameters. That is why it becomes possible to obtain analytical estimates despite the stochastic nature of the process.
