Dear Jon and Gyuhyeok

the real connaisseurs (e.g. Kay Diedrichs, et al) will certainly respond much 
better to this!
Redundancy is really high here (which is good of course), likely explaining the 
high-ish Rmerge. 
Indeed, “redundancy-aware“ indices, like Rpim, are much better, and actually 
quite good overall :)

It is true that Rmeas (with also integrates multiplicity), does diverge quite a 
bit from Rpim. As far as I recall the difference between these two being that 
the former reports on individual measurements, whilst Rpim uses merged data. 
Why that difference among them? Kay?

In any case, with >40 multiplicity, Rpim looks pretty good (and, consistent 
with CCs, makes sense)

Best, Alejandro
