33. The predicted deep-BEC quantum (T=0) tricritical point will have distinct phenomenology.
34. We note here that our identification of the square of the order parameter |ψ| 2 with the molecular density is strictly valid only in the deep-BEC regime, and will break down as the unitary point is approached.

47. The logarithmic corrections obtained here are strictly only valid at the tricritical point; our results in the second-order regime must eventually cross over to 3D XY behavior.
