68. We have assumed in this paper that the MP2-HF difference is due only to dispersion interactions. This is an obvious simplification, but it is useful for discussion.

71. Overestimation of stacking stability in classical calculations might be smaller than that deduced from inspection of Figure 3. This is due to die tendency of MP2/6-31G(d) calculations to underestimate dispersion interactions.
