I think it only allows us to conclude that 1.1% of powder diffractionists
would never fully trust software. A more realistic conclusion would be
that the overwhelming majority were unable to express their viewpoint
within the choices given. Anyway, is any of this spacegroup proposing
software available yet, I'd be interested to try it out.

Does anyone FULLY trust their Rietveld programs, bond distance angle
software or powder indexing programs? They're usually about right, but I
wouldn't want any of them being involved with a life support machine :)

Cheers, Jon
