Hi all,
Unsurprisingly the R_Dstar PRD that goes with the PRL is also assigned
to us. I presume Greg will continue collecting comments.

Dear Colleagues,
The draft paper below is now in its second circulation to the collaboration. The main purpose is to give the collaboration the
opportunity to view the paper after the changes to the first draft. Comments can be made on new features introduced or places where
comments received in the first round are felt to be taken insufficiently into account.

Please send any comments via the CDS system. It is the responsibility of the contact authors to provide replies to all comments made.
Shortly after the deadline, there will be a final meeting of the editorial board when final decisions will be made. Attendance is
required by at least one contact author (Marcin_Kucharczyk, Bartosz_Malecki, Mariusz_Witek), at least one
physics reviewer (Stephen_Farry, Stephen_Ogilvy) and the EB reviewer (Fred_Blanc). EB readers and EB members are invited to attend. As the last step the
collaboration will be given an opportunity to make any final comments during a short 'silent approval' period, after which the paper will be
submitted for publication.

Hi all,
Marcin has replied to our comments. Please see
https://cds.cern.ch/record/2273007
An annoyance is that out of six assigned institutes only one has replied
(me want cookie!). I wonder now how Vincenzo will decide whether this
goes to EPS (or, well, I know too well).
Many replies make me unhappy.

You cannot avoid such a discussion as it already started in LHCb. We see
that the fit is better in the ATLAS paper (1502.07947) and in the CMS
paper (1101.3518). In the latter the chi2/Ndof is given and they write
"The fit quality is poor, as can be seen from the values of χ2 /Ndof .
Gaussian parameterizations, which are used by some experiments, provide
values of χ2 /Ndof larger than 9, which confirms the observation in [4]
that an exponential parameterization is preferred." In 1005.3294 they
also give fit probabilities. So not mentioning what is visible by eye is
not a good strategy.
What we are worried about is that for a bad fit the value of the
parameters is biased or even meaningless. The size of such a bias should
be assessed.

This was taken 7 years ago. There was plenty of time to address that.
