27. Ref. incorrectly contrasted their observation of pinned cluster states at x N < 0.1 % with previous predictions of shifting states above the amalgamation point, x N > 0.1 %. In fact, for x N < 0.1 %, both experiment and theory show pinning, as noted in Dudiy, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 74, 155303 (2006). 10.1103/PhysRevB.74.155303
