Ojweh.... > c) Discarding your primary data is generally considered bad form... Agreed, but it is a big burden on labs to maintain archives of their raw data indefinitely. Even IRS allows to discard them after some time.
But you DO have to file in the first place, right? How long to keep is an entirely different question. > What is wrong with partially integrated data in terms of structure validation? Who thinks something is wrong with that idea? Section 3.1 under figure 3 of said incendiary pamphlet states: '...yadayada....when unmerged data or images for proper reprocessing are not available owing to the unfortunate absence of a formal obligation to deposit unmerged intensity data or diffraction images.' > They did not generate the bad data. This is a genuine American thinking! Ok, the US citizens on BB might take this one up on my behalf, gospodin ;-) видеть вас на Лубянке. >But they might create conditions that would prevent their deposition. Sure. We are back to the 2007 Reid shoe bomber argument. If you make PDB deposition a total pain for everybody, you don't get compliance, you get defiance. Ever seen any happy faces in a TSA check line? Anyhow, image deposition will come. Over and out, BR
