Hi Diana,

The updated paper sounds good!

I personally don't think the theoretical uncertainties are necessary here.
Given the fact that we can not differentiate between the models given the
precision of our data, I do not think including theoretical uncertainties
adds anything to the discussion. But maybe this is a decision for the more
experienced collaborators.
