59. We made the choice (Formula presented) in order to avoid the “ductile-brittle” crossover at a finite value of the lattice size (see Ref. 33). Other broad analytic distributions give rise to similar results.

63. Our conclusions have been criticized by the authors of Ref. 47, who probably misinterpreted our results. Reference 47 claims that we have shown, in Ref. 15, that the crack size diverges, which would contradict the hypothesis of a first-order transition. This is not the case, as is shown in Fig. 66. In addition, 47 criticizes the analogy between the breakdown and the spinodal point, noting that spinodal decomposition is qualitatively different from fracture. Probably this comment is due to incorrect identification of spinodal nucleation with spinodal decomposition.
