16. We remark that, for our purposes, the bond probability needs not be a function of the temperature: in fact, since we are interested in the behavior at the transition, the only important thing is the threshold value of (formula presented) compared with (formula presented)

18. This is obviously valid just for the cases in which the system undergoes a continuous magnetization transition, i.e., for (formula presented) 3, 4.
