24. An optimization of the deformation constant would of course have been desirable in a full theoretical study of this question. It is our opinion anyway that this would involve a level of detail and calculation outside the scope of this work. Nevertheless, preliminary calculations during the implementation of our procedures lead us to think that the effect of geometry optimization could only be small, and the qualitative picture obtained here should not be changed.
