Okay, new question:

When I call:

data.quantities["TotalQuantity"]("TotalEnergy")[0]


Is that truly total energy or actually the second baryon field? i.e. 
when I run yt on a zeus-hydro run will it return the internal energy or 
the total energy? (I've just run this for a Sedov blast and the total 
energy seems to be increasing, whereas I was expecting it to drop, since 
Zeus doesn't perform this test well and looses energy in the first few 
time-steps).
