35. All boundary spins were assigned orientations such that at most one bond around the boundary is unsatisfied. Furthermore, simulations with random orientations of the boundary spins gave the same results.

41. Note that the meandering of the droplets mentioned in Ref. occurs here even less frequently (no three-way meandering at all) compared to the Gaussian system; hence, one can be really sure that, indeed, exact minimum-energy excitations have been obtained.

48. Finally, recently it has been claimed (T. Jörg, private communication) that the present result might be an entropic effect, i.e., that in those zero-energy droplets which dominate, there is no decorrelation of pairs of spins.
