  In recent years many groups have used Fisher, Fisher, and Huse (FFH)
dynamical scaling to investigate and demonstrate details of the superconducting
phase transition. Some attention has been focused on two dimensions where the
phase transition is of the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii (KTB) type. Pierson
et al. used FFH dynamical scaling almost exclusively to suggest that the
dynamics of the two-dimensional superconducting phase transition may be other
than KTB-like. In this work we investigate the ability of scaling behavior by
itself to yield useful information on the nature of the transition. We simulate
current-voltage (IV) curves for two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays with
and without finite-size-induced resistive tails. We find that, for the
finite-size effect data, the values of the scaling parameters, specifically the
transition temperature and the dynamical scaling exponent z, depend critically
on the magnitude of the contribution that the resistive tails make to the IV
curves. In effect, the values of the scaling parameters depend on the noise
floor of the measuring system.
