I think one can indeed agree that the structure of an object does not
change with the resolution one looks at it. From that, one can
conclude, that one should use the same target values for bond
lengths, etc., for all resolutions. <-- snip -->
As golden as this nugget of wisdom might look, it is basically a
misconception.
You won't get an argument from me here. I only summarized the three
conclusions we have seen throughout this discussion, namely that
either, the rmsd's should be independent of the resolution, that they
should be larger with decreasing resolution, or that they should be
smaller with decreasing resolution. All arguments sound plausible in
their own ways.
What should the rmsd's be?
