A mistake appeared in Eqs. (15) and (16) of Ref. [1]. This is only a technical detail and it does not affect any of the conclusions of the Letter. In what follows I shall use the notation R1 for Ref. [1] and (nR1) for the equation number n of R1. The first line of Eq. (15R1) reads

δ G (˜ M −1 , ˜ M ) = σ (M )δ M − σ (M −1 )δ M −1 ,

(1)

where by δ  M I denoted δ  (˜ M , ˜ i ), of Eq. (14R1). By writing σ (M −1 ) = σ (M )−[dσ (M )/dM ](M − M −1 ) and δ M −1 = δ M − [d(δ  M )/d M ]( M −  M −1 ) and keeping only the terms which are linear in  M −  M −1 , I obtain

δ G (˜ M −1 , ˜ M )  ≈

   δ M + σ (M ) d(δ M ) (M − M −1 ) d   M d M

d  d M



σ (M )δ M (M − M −1 ).

(2b)

The difference between Eq. (2a) and Eq. (15R1) is the second term in the brackets of Eq. (2a). This was mistakenly omitted, by considering it much smaller than the first term. This mistake propagates also in Eq. (16R1) where one should write instead

α˜ M ˜i = (M − M −1 )

d d M





σ (M )[ V (M , i ) + f (˜ M , ˜i )] ,   ∂ V (M ,  ) 1+ 0M σ (  )n(  ) d  ∂ M

(3)

i.e., include the term δ  M of (14R1) under the derivative. All the conclusions and comments remain the same as in R1, with the only exception that δ G (˜ M −1 , ˜ M ) and therefore α˜ M ˜i may be different from zero even if dσ ( M )/d M = 0.
