For an unbiased one-dimensional walk with step size , diffusion coefficient fixes step interval . A small dissociation probability per step gives about steps before release. Thus lifetime depends on , while the root-mean-square net displacement before release is . Net displacement is not the cumulative distance along all backtracking steps. Physically impossible printed diffusivities should not be silently replaced by a guessed exponent.
