The captions tend not to make it into e.g. conference slides, so better 
IMO to have the accurate information on the plot... but this is rather 
off-topic ;)

Slightly more on-topic would be if the .info file could explain what is 
actually meant by "NSD events": e.g. do the systematic errors take 
account of different generators' SD modelling so that it would be safe 
to compare to the "NSD processes" in PHOJET or Pythia8, or is the data 
just constructed by subtracting the SD as modelled by PYTHIA 6? This 
would be a useful thing to have documented in the analysis.

Thanks again,
Andy
