\\ My first suggestion to the authors would be to change from describing things in terms of a generic method "Y" to using a specific case [e.g. CCSD(T)] and then generalizing only at the end, e.g., "Of course, the above holds true for any method that provides a good approximation to the energy, not just CCSD(T).".

Removing the discussion on LDA would probably free enough space to show this, especially if Figure 2 was condensed into a single figure (which should be feasible sans LDA).} Removing the discussion on LDA would probably free enough space to show this, especially if Figure 2 was condensed into a single figure (which should be feasible sans LDA).}
