p)$ with $Q^2 < 0.4$ (GeV/$c$)$^2$ using NRDWIA calculations with Woods-Saxon bound-state wave functions fit to the NIKHEF data for $T_p = 70$ MeV in parallel kinematics [@vdSteenhoven88a] and concluded that the normalization factors relative to IPSM were $N_{1p} = 0.56 \pm 0.02$ and $N_{1s} = 0.59 \pm 0.04$ for $E_m < 80$ MeV. They then argued that the transparency results based upon an estimated depletion factor of $f = 0.9$ for the single-hole spectral function with $E_m < 80$ MeV should be increased by a factor of approximately 1.25 using appropriately weighted attenuation factors for the $1p$ and $1s$ shells. Finally, they argued that the normalization factors for $^{12}$C vary strongly with $Q^2$ from the low values fitted to the NIKHEF data to values approaching the IPSM limit for $Q^2 > 2$ (GeV/$c$)$^2$. Frankfurt [[*et al.* ]{}]{}[@Frankfurt01] speculated that quenching of spectroscopic factors for low $Q^2$ might be caused by probing a dressed quasiparticle using long wave lengths and that at higher resolution the effective current operator for the $(e,e^\prime p)$ reaction approaches more closely that for a free nucleon. However, although the $Q^2$ range was smaller, our recent relativistic analysis showed no significant slope in the normalization factors
