Hi Xavier,

thanks for the clarification, I'll fix this for the next release.

I just cross read the paper, there is one sentence that concerns me a bit:

    The data points and uncertainties are symmetrized in ±?.

See I was running a minbias MC through the analysis and it is pretty
much a factor 2 off (attachment).

Do you remember who made the validation plots that came with the tarball 
in rivet contrib?
I would like to run a setup present in those plots to rule out any rivet 
problems.

Thanks,
Holger
