19. As recently pointed out by Selke et al. (Refs.), the value of the cumulant intersection may depend on various details of the model, which does not affect the universality class, in particular, the boundary condition, the shape of the lattice, and the anisotropy of the interactions. Consequently, more research is required to determine the universality class of a phase transition.

25. The appearance of nematic order at critical density is accompanied by the simultaneous presence of a percolating cluster of aligned monomers connecting the extremes of the lattice.
