48. 5 there is no reason to assume that the uncertainties for the other reaction enthalpies will be substantially lower than 5 kcal/mol. The benchmarking, however, is not performed using the reaction enthalpy data for one individual substituent, but using the data of the set of substituents (Figure 2), which partly annuls the individual uncertainties.
