I meant that as the number of unit cells per block decreases, the phenomena 
arising therefrom and from singly-different unit cells are less and less 
distinguishable. Further, it becomes arbitrary where one puts the boundaries of 
one's blocks--in the same crystal, one could draw boundaries to minimizes 
differences within blocks or to minimize statistical differences between 
blocks. And the unit cells at the edge of blocks--what does one do with them?
