14. While the relevant axis is disorder, this is difficult to quantify because it is not simply the microscopic disorder that determines R, but a more complicated one depending, for example, on the pinning potential. Thus, "different batches" means that samples may have different properties for similar normal-state R.
15. We consider the criterion for homogeneity to be that the SIT correlation length ξ> Li, where Li is the length scale of any relevant inhomogeneity.
