57. Focusing solely on this geometry is justified, as the Cossee-Arlman mechanism for olefin insertion requires such a geometry. We are unaware of any examples that have demonstrated that a different insertion geometry is the preferred pathway.

64. Homolysis represents only one of several possible deactivation pathways. Anion activation and alkylaluminum-induced reduction can be influenced by the choice of activator, but homolysis cannot.
65. ∗ appears to give better performance. This highlights the challenge of designing a catalyst that is stable with respect to several different deactivation pathways.
