These 3 observations are actually all consequences of the strong anisotropy. 
Phaser flags reflections with very little information content as outliers, 
because they’re being ignored (as they would have almost no effect on the 
likelihood calculation), and these come from the data in the weak directions. 
The moments go mad, but in a way that is predictable from the sigmas on the 
intensities, as seen by the fact that the predicted and observed moments track 
each other as a function of resolution.

Best wishes,

Randy
