The present paper concludes our investigations on the QCD cross-overtransition temperatures with 2+1 staggered flavours and one-link stoutimprovement. We extend our previous two studies [Phys. Lett. B643 (2006) 46,JHEP 0906:088 (2009)] by choosing even finer lattices ($N_t$=16) and we workagain with physical quark masses. The new results on this broad cross-over arein complete agreement with our earlier ones. We compare our findings with thepublished results of the hotQCD collaboration. All these results are confrontedwith the predictions of the Hadron Resonance Gas model and Chiral PerturbationTheory for temperatures below the transition region. Our results can bereproduced by using the physical spectrum in these analytic calculations. Thefindings of the hotQCD collaboration can be recovered by using a distortedspectrum which takes into account lattice discretization artifacts and heavierthan physical quark masses. This analysis provides a simple explanation for theobserved discrepancy in the transition temperatures between our and the hotQCDcollaborations.
