Could be a very dumb question, how does this affect COOT I wonder.

I don't see how this could affect Coot.


Sometimes when I use it to look at a PDB, it highlights some maps as "unreliable"
Of course its relying on EDS +/-5 of the reported value of R.

Credit where it's due - EDS marks the map as unreliable. Coot relays that information.


I am trying to reconcile the information in this email...

My understanding was that the EDS uses Refmac to calculate R values.

    is R_scale, a symmetric version of an R-value. Makes sense when
    comparing two data sets, or two model amplitudes. Clearly, it
    gives values which differ from model R values. But at least it
    defines what it prints out.
