21. Note that this approximation does not linearize the evolution. Rather it corresponds to taking the last (nonlinear) term in Eq. (4) as unity for z in the black region.

23. Equation (14) is valid with exponential accuracy. To determine the pre-exponential factor one would have to treat more carefully the pre-exponential factors in Eq. (13). This is beyond the scope of this Rapid Communication.
