Good morning Colin (from this side of the pond), I never liked the word redundancy. Multiplicity is a however a good word for multiple measurements. So, Ethan, what does someone in the USA say when made redundant ie out of a job? Surely not that they are now a useful surplus for the US economy

While it's hard to argue with Wikipedia (since it's 100% reliable, etc etc...), here is my two ha'porth. By the way, in the next paragraph read multiply as the adverb and not the verb. It's hard to find real evidence for this, but my thought was that the use of redundant in cases like

One day many years ago, my Ph.D. students all appeared wearing T-shirts with the logo We want more redundancy. They had clearly got the message about how to do sulfur SAD phasing, but were completely unaware of the usual meaning of the word in the UK! George -- Prof. George M. Sheldrick FRS

Oh – I seemed to have diverted Frank’s thread. Fortunately most languages themselves are highly redundant, with following characters and words being quite predictable. The entropy and redundancy of English language was analysed by Shannon (with the help of his wife) and he obtained figures of

The traditional benefit was in reducing absorbtion errors. This obviously depends on crystal path, and seeing it is hard to model well, one way to mitigate the errors was to average equivalents collected at different settings. The error was still there, but assuming random distribution about the

Times up! The 3rd case I had in mind was the presence of anisotropy of the anomalous scattering in the presence of a polarised beam. John Helliwell and Pete Dunten suggested this. Dave Waterman identified the general issue with polarisation. All three kept the fun going (as John put it) by
