  // First bool == true for full validation, false for only "main" validation.
  // Main validation includes efficiencies, fake rates, duplicate rates. Also momentum pulls, nHits plots, timing plots.
  // Full validation includes main validation plus geometry plots, positions pulls, and CF pulls/residuals.  
  // Full validation also includes branching plots and segmenting plots
  // The second boolean argument == true to move input root file to output directory, false to keep input file where it is.
