DGHV FHE, How is the maximum value of the rightmost term in Lemma A.1 calculated?

gr flag

The proof of Lemma A.1 of the paper "FHE over the Integers" (Page 21-22) states that the absolute value of the rightmost term of

$c=p\cdot (kq_0+\sum_{i\in S}{q_i})+(m+2r+k\cdot2r_0+\sum_{i\in S}{r_i})$

is at most $(4\tau +3)2^{\rho}<\tau 2^{\rho+3}$.

We have $|k|\leq\tau$ and $|r_i|\leq 2^{\rho}$.

In addition, it is mentioned in the paper that $-2^{\rho'}<r<2^{\rho'}$ and $m\in\{0,1\}$.

My question is, how do we get $(4\tau +3)2^{\rho}$?

I calculated the maximum value for $(m+2r+k\cdot2r_0+\sum_{i\in S}{r_i})$ as $(1+2^{\rho'+1}+(4\tau-2)2^{\rho})$ (I take $k=\tau -1$ and $S=\{1,\ldots,\tau\}$ as upper bounds).

I couldn't get $(4\tau +3)2^{\rho}$ even if I put the suggested value of $\rho'$ (which is $2\rho$). I can't figure out where I'm wrong.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
