(1) As an additional systematic check, could you compare the results obtained from a "counting experiment analysis" with those you obtain here from a "shape analysis"? That is, normalize the B and Bbar samples individually, count the number of signal events and use them to measure the direct CP violation.

(1) As an additional check, could you please compare the results obtained from a) a fit which normalizes B and Bbar separately (a "shape-only" measurement) b) a time-integrated measurement, i.e. counting the # of (signal) B and Bbar decays with the nominal result (which implicitly combines the above two results), and verify that the results obtained are consistent.
