44. Compensating variations in the parameters of a dual parameter fit can sometimes simply be artifacts of the fitting equation. In this case, however, we directly observe saturation behavior, and we are therefore confident that physical phenomena differentiate the rates and equilibria in, for example, the cyclohexane and cycloheptane reactions.
