13. In what follows, we neglect the small additive electroweak correction, usually denoted δEW′ in the literature, which is known explicitly only for the (00) spectral weight case, and for s0=mτ2. In that case it is at the sub-0.1% level relative to the leading D=0 OPE contribution, a level which would produce a shift in αs much smaller than the main sources of error in our determination.

19. Note that while in Ref. ALEPH has provided the KK̄π contribution to the isovector V spectral distribution, the covariance information needed to make the corresponding improvement to the errors on the V and A spectral integrals is not publicly available. We will thus quote experimental errors based on the uncorrected, but publicly available, covariances for the V, A inclusive sums.

31. It should be noted that the analysis of Ref., which employs the w(00) spectral weight, uses the 2005 ALEPH fits for the coefficients δ(6) and δ(8) as input. Problems with these fit values thus also impact the reliability of that analysis.

39. Note that, for reasons entirely analogous to those discussed in detail above, integrated OPE contributions to the wN-weighted FESR having dimension D≠2N+2 begin at O([αs(s0)]2). There is also a numerical suppression as a result of the structure of the relevant weighted logarithmic integrals, combined with the alternation in signs of the polynomial coefficients associated with the pinching condition w(y=1)=0. This strong suppression of D≠2N+2 contributions is of course also shared by the weights w(y)=1-yN, a feature of these weights emphasized in Ref..

72. Since no fit incorporating d=4, 6, 8 and 10 contributions is reported for the V, A or V+A channels, it is not possible to check the D=8 results of Ref. for stability. For this reason, combined with the observed instability of the C6 fits for the V and V+A channels, we do not quote the D=8 results.
