13. Of course the converse is also true, the most obvious manifestation of which is MC's limitation to equilibrium contexts.

19. These include two-surface MC and the molecular mechanics based importance function method. We eschew the first because it is too evocative of electronically excited states, and the second because it inaccurately characterizes the method's generality.

33. Due to the absence of strongly attractive forces, as well as the high temperature and pressure of the system, the equilibration periods required were much shorter than for, say, water at STP.
