I agree, but only in a scenario where the potential form of choice 
(pairwise for example) is indeed such that allows you to reproduce the 
forces. Maybe some systems require multi-body terms or some things like 
that.
In any case, sorry, because my sentence " I mean, how do they the value of 
(F_il,model - Fil,ref)^2, which should ideally be 0, at each point?" was 
not well written. it should be "I mean, how do *these errors relate to* the 
value of (F_il,model - Fil,ref)^2, (...), at each point?"
What I mean is: if you have for example more than one superatom type, you 
will have minimum 3 pairwise potentials: 1-1, 1-2, 2-2. Each of them will 
be a separate .force output file and have its own reported "error". But if 
you look at force-matching's formalism as develop by Voth (which is the one 
implemented in VOTCA), they work with equations for the global, total force 
acting on each atom i. So in fact I was curious to know what are these 
individual errors of 1-1, 1-2 and 2-2 (i.e., how are they calculated by 
VOTCA?).

I sent you an email :)
If I somehow emailed the wrong Christoph Junghans and you didnt receive 
anything, you can feel free to email me instead:
