Hi Maarten,

I agree, but they defer most comments t the paper (which is fine). We'll need to be careful. I am slightly worried that they think that this

Section 9 is poorly written and hard to understand. You give a name to systematic uncertainties an explain how you got them but not not say which effect you try to catch. That's very critical for this analysis to be understood. For instance the first sentence of the simulation correction item is totally mysterious. Relative efficiency to what? Why would unweighted events take into account simulation statistics?

>>> We will work on that for the PAPER

refers to phrasing. I understand they assess a systematic by comparing weighted and unweighted events. This method as undefined coverage. What they should do is vary the weights within uncertainties.

Do we want to nudge back?

Cheers,

Patrick
