Oh cool, you anticipated my question. This is a good idea. However, I will
have to come back to it tomorrow when my head is more willing.

Oh look, there's Alell. Never mind, DED, we found it.

I like the way you said "no spoilers here" twice.

Okay, I looked down a little bit. Yes, you fixed the companion dwarf by
just bumping it to the same luminosity class as the primary, which I think
I mentioned in my DED reply as the easy thing to do while we were in
there, don't know why we didn't.

In most cases you simply changed the degenerate companion to a V or D.
Since I can't see the rest of the UPP I can't see why you made that call.
I assume you switched to V if it had an atmosphere and to D if it didn't?

Argh, I see you left Alell as M7 V, which as I pointed out to DED, turns
out has no hab zone, and DED already didn't like it that way. Why didn't
you crank it up?

Oh, wait, you've discussed them below, never mind.

I don't suppose you have ever compared the "not far enough" TNE data to
the pre-TNE data so we could work out some kind of score on what % we did
fix?

I want to keep obsessing on this now, but I really need to set it aside
and return tomorrow.

Later.
