 Understanding the number of stationary points as a function of latitude $m$
 will clarify the meaning of our effective action for the average Euler
-characteristic. This is because the average number of stationary points is a
+characteristic in the range of overlaps $m$ where it takes a complex value. This is because the average number of stationary points is a
 nonnegative number. If the region of complex $\mathcal S_\Omega$ has a
 well-defined number of stationary points, it indicates that we are looking at a
 situation with a negative average Euler characteristic. On the other hand, if
 the average number of stationary points yields a complex value at some latitude
-$m$, it must be because it is either to large or small in $N$ to be captured by
