16. This assumption has physical sense in some situations. For instance, for the Peskin model of pacemaker cardiac cells 5 one can expand the PRC 12 in powers of the convexity of the driving, leading to a PRC with a constant term, whose only effect is to shift the threshold, plus another term which is proportional to the phase.
