While this does show a clear correlation between the falloff parameter
and the area where the error occurs, the geometry of that area is still
a puzzle to me: For instance, why is the area farther out on the red leg
than on the blue leg? And why is the area much farther out than the falloff?

Can you do me a favor and toy around with the colours, the geometry of
how the optical elements are arranged, and how this relates to the falloff?

(BTW, when you post results, please include the details right away. Me
having to ask for them unnecessarily bogs down the whole process.)
