While the approach marks a methodological advance, the Bayesian unfolding is shown to be ill-conditioned due to low reconstruction efficiencies (A × ε < 10%), leading to prior-dominated tail behavior. A sensitivity analysis using alternative priors (Poisson, exponential) reveals up to 61% variation in tail moments, exceeding ALICE’s reported systematics by a factor of two. These uncertainties propagate into higher-order yields (Yns), potentially weakening the claimed agreement with PYTHIA 8 over EPOS LHC in AS = 0 ratios. Recommendations include explicit prior sensitivity tests, regularization techniques, and bias-corrected multiplicity plots to ensure robustness in future Run 3 analyses.
