Nicholas,
I think that we are not comparing ML to no-ML (or maximum entropy), but
rather ML inflated by experimental errors vs pure ML that ignores them.
I may be crazy or stupid (or both), but certainly not crazy/stupid
enough to "doubt the importance of maximum likelihood for refinement".
(On the other hand, one who promises to never doubt maximum likelihood
shall never use SHELX :)
Cheers,
Ed.
