In experiment, synthesis often is not performed at fixed stoichiometry, but rather in an atmosphere with, for example, tunable oxygen pressure. To capture this configuration, we model the La-Cu-S open to oxygen tuned by a chemical potential $\mu(\text{O}_2)$, using the formalism developed in
Ref.~\onlinecite{Ping_Ong_2008}. Ref.~\cite{Ping_Ong_2008}.
If we had access to this information during the original work, we would not have recommended that experimental groups attempt to synthesize the target compounds because instability energies of over 0.5eV/atom are quite large. If instead the energies lay up $\sim$100meV/atom above the hull, we would believe there is a reasonable probability the new composition would be stable. Thus, notwithstanding the systematic uncertainties in choice of $U$ and correction parameters, convex hulls are critical to evaluating potential new compounds.
