//
//  > Ok. Here is my understanding:
//  > According to Li&Ma paper (correctly cited in MMath.cc) alpha is the
//  > scaling factor. The mathematics behind the formula 17 (and/or 9) implies
//  > exactly this. If you scale OFF to ON first (using time or using any other
//  > method), then you cannot use formula 17 (9) anymore. You can just try
//  > the formula before scaling (alpha!=1) and after scaling (alpha=1), you
//  > will see the result will be different.
//
//  > Here are less mathematical arguments:
//
//  >  1) the better background determination you have (smaller alpha) the more
//  > significant is your excess, thus your analysis is more sensitive. If you
//  > normalize OFF to ON first, you loose this sensitivity.
//
//  >  2) the normalization OFF to ON has an error, which naturally depends on
//  > the OFF and ON. This error is propagating to the significance of your
//  > excess if you use the Li&Ma formula 17 correctly. But if you normalize
//  > first and use then alpha=1, the error gets lost completely, you loose
//  > somehow the criteria of goodness of the normalization.
