This has been a fascinating thread. Thanks. I will dip my oar in the water. Here are a couple of snippets. Jacob: It was good of proto-crystallographers to invent diffraction as a way to apply Fourier Series. and Ethan: So here's the brain-teaser: Why does Nature use Fourier transforms

Ethan and I apparently agree that anomalous scattering is "normal" and Friedel's Law is just an approximation. I'll presume that your "unique" is assuming otherwise and your 62,500 reflections only include half of reciprocal space. The full sphere of data would include 125,000 reflections.
