15. Most real surfaces show contact angle hysteresis. In many cases, hysteresis is due to some sort of imperfection. On a smooth surface, this imperfection may come from heterogeneities or contaminants. The analysis presented here is still valid if inherent hysteresis is zero.

19. Equations 4 and 5 are true for surface features that have a constant profile around the entire diameter of the capillary tube. If the shape of the sawtooth features shows radial variation or periodicity, then a different form of eqs 4 and 5 must be used in the analysis.

22. If the liquid slug is shorter than the length of a single feature, then the analysis presented here probably is not valid. Otherwise, it should be fine.
