71. It can be verified that a simple linear superposition of multiple conformation tensors (i.e., the generalized Maxwell model or the Rouse model) would not resolve the issue as long as a zero value of αzz is chosen for each individual mode. Only by allowing for an empirical coupling between different modes of the conformation tensor, one might lead to nonzero value of αzz in certain cases; this is, however, not recommended since one would generally not be able to justify such a coupling on physical grounds.
