[phenixbb] simulated annealing omit map

[Tim Gruene]

Hi Nat,

high-resolution data won't help you much and certainly much less than
accurate low resolution reflections. "Burning the crystal" also
contradicts "as accurately as possible", and what Dale suggests will
help much more than high resolution reflections.

High resolution reflections get lost first upon radiation damage and for
partially occupied ligands, and accurate low resolution reflections are
worth much more.

Regards,
Tim
