We did not think it necessary to incorporate into this report the video pictures of these high-retracting-velocity experiments, which are quite identical to those obtained at 22 and 40 °C in the evaporating water drop experiments, and herein shown in Figure 3. These results as well as the details concerning these complementary experiments are available to readers, by request from the corresponding author.
