Takashi and Bradley, Thanks for checking this. We should "turn every stone" in the simulation chain to understand what is going on with our data-MC agreement. Can you please (with all relevant people) write a note (HPS-Note) on details of simulation scheme and tests that are done showing that everything works correct.
