In an earlier work[1] we established that causal Israel-Stewart viscous hydrodynamics is only accurate in RHIC applications at very low shear viscosities 4 pi eta(s)/s less than or similar to 1.5 - 2. We show here that the region of applicability is significantly reduced if bulk viscosity plays a role in the dynamics.
