I would like to stimulate a discussion on imagining us already in a world where we'll have MC@NLO/POWHEG for all interesting processes (SM and BSM) and a few (key) parton-level NNLO calculations (Z,W,ttbar inclusive jet,...) at the LHC. How the exp results should be given in the paper for "standard candle measurements" (with cuts or extrapolated to the total x-sec)? How the TH information...
