This shows that while we expect slightly different results for the mass moving a $|v| > 1km/s$ in the line of sight of the observation, these results do not differ by too much. {\bf we can't claim this, since we haven't directly checked it:  Most observations angles will give similar results. Only a very few will be significantly different. I think you can say, "For optically thin emission, as in the case of $^{13]$CO, we expect the estimated mass should be similar for outflow inclinations between $\sim$10-35 degrees." Note these are when you are not looking at the outflow either totally pole-on or edge on. You could mention here that the projected velocity will be very different for different angles so the momentum and energy estimates could be significantly different.}
