22. Unfortunately, the present experimental data taken on the bare Au(111) surface in the neighborhood of adsorbed 3T molecules appear quite noisy. This is not generally the case. However, we preferred to keep the noisy data taken close to but clearly off the 3T molecule, which had delivered the (blue) "on-top-of-the-molecule barrier", rather than comparing to less noisy results taken at a completely different location or even on a different Au(111) sample.
