It is important to point out that, despite the concerns that may arise from the fact that the EVB approach sacrifices precision due to the fact that it is semi-empirical, all quantum chemical approaches use approximations to varying extents, and, for instance, the inherent errors in commonly used DFT approaches can be quite significant (see discussion in e.g., [ 75 ] and references cited therein), and the reliability of the results are heavily dependent on the precise functional and basis set used.
