88. [84a] One must keep in mind that the calculation of refs [83,84] is fully inclusive, thus it applies to an ideal detector with a 4π coverage. If selection cuts are applied, like in ref. [91], where Higgs production via gluon-gluon fusion is computed to NLO and to NNLO with a jet veto, the higher-order corrections may not be as large as in the fully inclusive calculation. Thus the ultimate judgement on the usefulness of a NNLO evaluation rests on an analysis with the cuts which will be used in the realistic simulations of the ATLAS and CMS detectors
