32. The discrepancy between Coulomb gauge numbers and cooling numbers is likely due to gauge artifacts. The Coulomb gauge number after cooling (third row of Table I) - in principle close to zero - added to the gauge invariant cooling number, agrees closely with the Coulomb gauge number before cooling.
