Catalogs what is known (radial expansion, buoyancy, electron/ion drift,

Steve Conner's "short bursts outperform long bursts" finding was
presented adjacent to QCW's lower epsilon without clarifying these

is within-mode (burst vs burst, threshold effect), while QCW's lower
epsilon is cross-mode (leader vs streamer plasma type).
