63. The reader is reminded that an alternate interpretation of the conductance suppression involves the destructive interference between the two paths available to the conduction electrons: a path that avoids the dots and a path that visits them. This interpretation is completely equivalent to the back-scattering one. These two interpretations will be used interchangeably along the text.
