These authors take no account of the fact that the substrate is made of colloidal graphite particles which can lead to additional (confining) effects and which is believed to be most relevant for the critical "depletion" observed in the adsorption measurements-see M. Thommes, G. H. Findenegg, and M. Schoen, Langmuir 11, 2137 (1995).
