Hi Bei,

I don't have time to go through the paper you mention right now, but for a small fix like this, feel free to make a pull request against our GitHub mirror

https://github.com/GENIEMC/GENIE <https://github.com/GENIEMC/GENIE>

Normally I would recommend targeting the 'community' branch, but we're close to some big changes in GENIE, so right now I'd prefer you make changes on a copy of the 'trunk' branch and issue a pull request targeting that branch instead.

Thanks for checking the numbers carefully!
