Standard sirens will not be "found" by LSST [p 36]. They have to found and measured using LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA/IndIGO and then the EM counterparts need to be found, and LSST will be a great asset for this follow-up activity. So rewrite this to say LSST will followup GWB alerts and is likely to find 70 EM counterparts if the gravitational wave network is working well.

Fed, Phil, I am not sure where the text about standard sirens came from. Can you please help by tracing its origin and responding to this comment?

Weirdness again - it doesn't have Phil in the list of potential assignees... Fed, can you please catch Phil?

Excellent point! Implemented as suggested.
