As already discussed, our results on the component- separated CMB maps are presented in Fig. 18. Because the CMB and FFP6 noise components of the foreground-cleaned map simulations are the same as those used to characterize our fiducial lens reconstruction, we can measure the expected scatter between the foreground separated maps and our fidu- cial reconstruction.
