40. In reality, the distribution of the largest clusters at the percolation threshold is discrete. Also, physical samples are finite in extent and so the largest cluster is only as large as the system. Neither of these effects has much impact on the scaling of Eq. (31).
41. Our results are quite different from Ref. 14. We note that their numerical simulations for two-dimensional percolation were for τ≲20, not long enough to study the long-time asymptotic behavior.
