 In particular, here we study only cases with quadratic $g_i$, which results in
 a linear expression relating $\mu$ and the $\omega_i$ that is independent of $\mathbf
 x$. Since $H$ contains the disorder of the problem, this simplification means
-that the effect of fixing the trace is independent of the disorder and only
+that the effect of fixing the trace is largely independent of the disorder and mostly
 depends on properties of the constraint manifold.
