Two more questions and an observation

I'm wondering if we can talk a bit more about this "windtabs" model versus other models.  How sharply can we contrast them?  I agree, the "windtabs" seems much more realistic - from the data presented.  But I'm wondering if we can talk a bit more about what causes some of the differences, etc.

 

Secondly, I'm a bit confused about the transmission of certain x-rays.  I thought previous models underestimated x-ray absorption.  However, in some of the figures - in particular, Figure 8 - it seems the other way around. Transmission for "windtabs" is higher - indicating less absorption - while it is lower for other models.  Can we talk a bit about this?

 

Also thought it was really cool how this paper referred to other papers, to comment on results and how they could be improved, using this new model!
