23. For strong disorder we restricted ourselves to exact diagonalization as DMRG is not reliable in that regime.

25. The irrelevance of disorder is not related to the use of open boundaries as we checked for the gap distribution on small periodic chains.

30. In Eq. (7) we leave the possibility of having different gaps scaling with different exponents (i.e., z and v may depend on k). This is indeed found in the S = 3/2 chain.
