I should make the estimation in Aimless more robust, and curve fitting sounds 
like a good idea (but what function?). Outliers are a difficult problem, but 
anyway I think you should look at the curve and not just the number estimated. 
I would look at I/sigI as well, and anisotropy to decide the resolution. 
However, the final cutoff should probably be based on refinement, and also I 
don't think the exact cutoff makes a huge difference (see
