After revision:  We propose avenues to circumvent this problem and present analyses demonstrating consistency between chromosomal and plasmid data {\it {\it chromosome, consistent with plasmid values, and offer a proof of concept for a high accuracy measurement. To reach these conclusions, we revisit the problem of the formation of ParB clusters. We predict, in particular, that they result from a non-equilibrium, stationary balance between an influx of produced proteins and an outflux of excess proteins, i.e., they behave like liquid-like protein condensates with unconventional ``leaky'' boundaries .
