[phenixbb] R/Rfree discrepancy Phenix vs Refmac

[Partha Chakrabarti]

Hi Sabine,

I believe the comparison should be with same input, not output of one piped
into another.

How different are the geometry? Different programs use different algorithm
and different xray:geometry term by default. Hence, it might only make sense
if the RMSD are almost exactly the same. Furthermore, is one program
detecting NCS  or twining or building waters automatically? Then everything
is blown up anyway.

In any case, refinemt program A vs. B is an interesting topic! I would not
start one.. ;)
MFG,
Partha
