40. The only alternative to the conjectured ultraslow decay of the dynamical asymmetry towards zero is assuming that the system is already in the localized phase. Then, our results would show strikingly different critical coupling strengths α c in comparison to other results obtained with different approaches. Therefore, the conjectured ultraslow decay of the dynamical asymmetry towards zero is the only sensible assumption.
