They proposed, as a necessary criterion for IV data supporting a non-KT-type superconducting transition, that log I vs log V isotherms equally distanced from Tc must consist of opposite concavities at the same applied currents. For a JJA with Ic varying greatly with temperature, the requirement of opposite concavities should be satisfied at the same I/Ic, rather than at the same I.
