I like Jim Plufgrath's way of looking at the problem: reflections and
background scatter have different effective source sizes and
distances. For a reflection, the source is the same as the beamline
source (some place way upstream). For solvent the source is the sample
itself, for air, the source is spread out over a range of distances
... thus background is very divergent.
I like Jim's way of looking at the problem too. Especially the part
about beer.

So when your synchtrotron buddies talk about all this, be sure to buy them
beers to help with their thinking. :)
