After THIS unrestrained refinement one CAN discuss RELIABLY ALL interatomic distances including P-O, K-O, K-P, K-K and P-P, as well as angles, orientations etc., WITHIN THEIR UNCERTAINTIES that are also estimated RELIABLY according to the EXPERIMENTALLY DETERMINED deviations of the unrestrained P-O distances. After the restrained refinement NOTHING can be discussed RELIABLY since neither the values nor their uncertainties are determined EXPERIMENTALLY.<br>
After the unrestrained refinement one can state RELIABLY that the structure is DETERMINED with definite precision and, thus, discuss its features, compare it with other experimentally determined structures within their uncertainties, make more or less definite conclusions etc. After the restrained refinement one can only state that a hypothetical structure model is proposed and NOTHING can be concluded or discussed RELIABLY.<br>
Don't you see the difference??!!<br>
Determination = reliable experimental evaluation + reliable estimation of uncertainties.<br>
Now I probably understand your "colleagues".<br>

<br>
What information capacity ? The fact is that imposing the expected values you obtain a similar fit. This tells you that you cannot discuss your unrestrained "information", because it is unreliable.<br>
<br>
Information is something you may discuss reliably. The only possible discussion about P3-O14 = 1.72(3)A is to say that it is very probably strongly overestimated.<br>
<br>
Such are powder results for complex cases.<br>
<br>
Sure, the restrained distances cannot be discussed as well. At least they are not completely extravagant.<br>
<br>
