16. The reason for this choice is purely technical: the nonlinear term of the KPZ equation describing the evolution of the free interface is proportional to its velocity [13]. Since this term is also responsible for the out-of-equilibrium dynamics, we prefer to keep it constant.

18. For (q = 0.4, the estimate of β is not in good agreement with the known MN value. This can be probably ascribed to finite-size effects due to the proximity of the multicritical point q*.
