19. This is an effect caused by defining the quantity D as in Eq. 3 and by taking the absolute value explicitly from the time series of Ex - Ey. A better way would be to take D = (Ex - Ey) 2 which is not dependent on. Then D is the true quantum estimate but is much harder to sample in SSE resulting in larger error bars. D is therefore an approximation to D which becomes almost perfect in the ordered phase. For our main objective of criticality this is, however, irrelevant and we choose the quantity which is more accurate to measure.
