-Following the recent work of Eriksen \textit{et al.}~[\href{https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.02678}{arXiv:2008.02678 [physics.chem-ph]}], we report the performance of the \textit{Configuration Interaction using a Perturbative Selection made Iteratively} (CIPSI) method on the non-relativistic frozen-core correlation energy of the benzene molecule in the cc-pVDZ basis. Following our usual protocol, we obtain a correlation energy of \titou{$-86x.x(x)$} m$E_h$ which agrees with the theoretical estimate of $-863$ m$E_h$ proposed by Eriksen \textit{et al.}~using an extensive array of highly-accurate new electronic structure methods.

 Like Pipek-Mezey, \cite{Pipek_1989} this choice of orbital windows allows to preserve a strict $\sigma$-$\pi$ separation in planar systems like benzene.
 As one can see from the energies of Table \ref{tab:NOvsLO}, for a given value of $N_\text{det}$, the variational energy as well as the PT2-corrected energies are much lower with localized orbitals than with natural orbitals. We, therefore, consider these energies more trustworthy, and we will base our best estimate of the correlation energy of benzene on these calculations. 
 The convergence of the CIPSI correlation energy using localized orbitals is illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:CIPSI}, where one can see the behavior of the correlation energy, $\Delta E_\text{var.}$ and $\Delta E_\text{var.} + E_\text{(r)PT2}$, as a function of $N_\text{det}$ (left panel).
-The right panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:CIPSI} is more instructive as it shows $\Delta E_\text{var.}$ as a function of $E_\text{(r)PT2}$, and their corresponding \titou{five}-point linear extrapolation curves that we have used to get our final estimate of the correlation energy.
+The right panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:CIPSI} is more instructive as it shows $\Delta E_\text{var.}$ as a function of $E_\text{(r)PT2}$, and their corresponding four-point linear extrapolation curves that we have used to get our final estimate of the correlation energy.
 From this figure, one clearly sees that the rPT2-based correction behaves more linearly than its corresponding PT2 version, and is thus systematically employed in the following.
 
 % Results
 Our final number are gathered in Table \ref{tab:extrap_dist_table}, where, following the notations of Ref.~\onlinecite{Eriksen_2020}, we report, in addition to the final variational energies $\Delta E_{\text{var.}}$, the
 extrapolation distances, $\Delta E_{\text{dist}}$, defined as the difference between the final computed energy, $\Delta E_{\text{final}}$, and the extrapolated energy, $\Delta E_{\text{extrap.}}$ associated with ASCI, iCI, SHCI, DMRS, and CIPSI. 
-The three flavours of SCI fall into an interval ranging from $-860.0$ m$E_h$ (ASCI) to $-864.2$ m$E_h$ (SHCI), while the other non-SCI methods yield correlation energies ranging from $-863.7$ to $-862.8$ m$E_h$ (see Table \ref{tab:energy}). Our final CIPSI number (obtained with localized orbitals and rPT2 correction via a \titou{five}-point linear extrapolation) is \titou{$-86x.x(x)$} m$E_h$.

Our final CIPSI number (obtained with localized orbitals and rPT2 correction via a four-point linear extrapolation) is $-863.4(5)$ m$E_h$, where the error reported in parenthesis represents the fitting error (not the extrapolation error for which it is much harder to provide a theoretically sound estimate).
 For comparison, the best post blind test SHCI estimate is $-863.3$ m$E_h$, which agrees almost perfectly with our best CIPSI estimate.

-The first step of the calculation, \ie, performing a CIPSI calculation up to $N_\text{det} \sim 10^7$ with Hartree-Fock orbitals in order to produce natural orbitals, takes roughly 24 hours on a single node, and reaching the same number of determinants with natural orbitals or localized orbitals takes roughly the same amount of time.
