General inspection of Fig. shows that gaps and couplings are rapidly varying with time, also changing the order between the two cations along the time axis. Therefore, the application of the gap law relying on static energy gaps alone, typically between the ground and first excited state only, must be taken with care. If the observed (partial) violation of the gap law as demonstrated here survives experimental investigation and / or higher-level theory remains to be seen, however, the statement that often several states, details of the couplings and, most of all, dynamics can play decisive roles is expected to be of quite general nature.
