I don't quite understand the last sentence above... How is the uncertainty
in the impurity composition connected to the uncertainties in detection
efficiency and in the md->mZ rates?  If you refer to Equation 9 in my
analysis report from the unblinding meeting, you see that those are three
separate issues, each of which has its own associated uncertainty.  Or
maybe I'm just not understanding your phrasing?
