      The small remaining discrepancy between Hong and gwinc is due to
      an error in gwinc's implementation of the Yam et al model.
      
      The coefficient in front of the phase derivative `dcdp_z` is
      supposed to be `nN` (as written correctly in Yam et al, eq 1),
      not `nN/2` (as found in gwinc).
      
      In Hong et al, the coefficient is `nN/2`, but that's because
      their phases are defined as one-way instead of round-trip (see
      Yam et al, eq A2).
      
      After correcting the error, gwinc and Hong agree, as expected,
      for the case of equal bulk and shear losses and no
      photoelasticity.
