I'd say that it depends on your state of knowledge, and on their I and sigma. - if you know the space group for sure before you do the measurement of the systematic absences, their I and sigma don't matter to you (because they don't influence your mental model of the experiment), so their inform

I actually use the word "noise" a lot, but I try to reserve it for things that change every time you measure them.  A "noise peak" in electron density would be one that changes if you re-collect the data.  "Noise" should also go away if you average enough data together.  I don't expect that is

Well, in the example I made the individual atomic B factors, the Wilson B, and "true B-factor" were all the same thing.  Keeps it simple. But to be clear, yes: the B factors at the end of refinement are not the "true B-factors", they are our best estimation of them.  Given that no protein mode
