Simulations for the double well potential used in Ref. 12 were repeated using various numbers of walkers M, shorter time steps, and one order of magnitude longer simulations. The results indicate a small, but statistically meaningful change in the slope of the E vs 1/M fitting straight line as a function of the time step, as described in the text.
