Oh dear, I think they really mean it Armel :-( I hope we are not going to have
this old argument with the statisticians that Sakata, Cooper et al. started
25 years ago against the Rietveld method. To avoid that, and to convince us
experimentalists, how about refining the same data with the two "equivalent"
methods and demonstrating that it is "the same thing" in practice ie that
you get the same estimates of the parameters and standard deviations.
