[Rivet] Unsuitable error checking

[Frank Siegert]

Hi David,

As far as I understand, this analysis really corrected back to the
stable Higgs because it's combining the yy and 4l channel, so you
indeed have to run it with a stable Higgs simulation.

Or are you just complaining about the technicalities (printf, abort)
of how that is handled? I would agree, but it's a question whether the
analysis should just silently keep running with vetoEvent (and thus
causing somebody to accidently waste lots of CPUh because they forgot
to set the Higgs stable) or whether there should be a warning/exit in that case.

Cheers,
Frank
