Log: a citation to Steve's thesis where he shows in an appendix that a axi-symmetric spacetime cannot radiate angular momentum.

Since the spacetime is -axisymmetric the gravitational waves cannot radiate angular momentum. Thus +axisymmetric the gravitational waves cannot radiate angular momentum~\cite{Brandt:1996th}. Thus any change in the spin must be due to numerical error and $\Delta S$ should converge to zero with increasing resolution. This is clearly shown in the bottom plot of Figure~\ref{fig:ah_mass_spin}; the green
