+One cannot explicitly study the effect of crossing various landmark energies on
+the $p$-spin in the system sizes that were accessible to our study, up to
+around $N=64$, as the presence of, e.g., the threshold energy separating
+saddles from minima is not noticeable until much larger size

+Data for the likelihood of a Stokes line as a function of the empirical gap
+$|\lambda_\textrm{min}|$ of the real stationary point is shown in
+Fig.~\ref{fig:numeric.prob.eigenvalue}. There, one sees that the probability of
+finding a Stokes line with a near neighbor falls off as an exponential in the
+magnitude of the smallest eigenvalue. As a function of system size, the tail
+contracts like $N^{-1/2}$, which means that in the thermodynamic limit one
+expects the probability of finding such a Stokes line will approach zero
+everywhere expect where $\lambda_\textrm{min}\ll1$. This supports the idea that
+gapped minima are unlikely to see Stokes lines.
