22. Our result contradicts the analysis with unpolarized neutrons [17], which indicates an isotropic response. However, Servant et al. had to assume that the form factor in itself is isotropic, and they had to compare different scattering arrangements quantitatively.

24. i ~ 0.95 we may still exclude the required anisotropy of 4, these two parameters together are, furthermore, in contradiction with the signal observed in the unpolarized experiment [6].
