"We" means "we the science case investigators" unless otherwise stated

This is another latex hop-through, albeit involving several different latex files per chapter... Best undertaken by the chapter editors in parallel I think. Please report in once you have done this check for your chapter! Thanks :-)

@drphilmarshall I have done this for WFIRST, but I am not sure I was looking for the right thing. Can you give a bit more context for this issue?

[lmwalkowicz]

Yeah @drphilmarshall I don't actually know what you mean by a LaTeX hop through?

Ah, sorry! More explanation:

In the introduction to the white paper we will make the following statement:

"We" means "we the science case investigators" unless otherwise stated

That means that all of the rest of the paper must be consistent with that statement. So, in each chapter, we need to go through every line of latex searching for the string " we " (using our editor's case insensitive search facility) and make sure that all sentences containing the word "we" comply with the standard we have set ourselves. If we ever use "we" to refer to a group of people other than the current science case's investigators, we will need to explain that, as in "In this case, 'we' refers to the LSST science community, rather than just the present science case's investigators."

I hope this makes sense! If you hit an odd case, please make a note of it in the tex so you can find it again, and post it to this thread. Thank you all!

The "we"s in Cosmology look ok to me.
