Dear Qixu Cai, it is a misconception that Rfree was not free anymore. The gap does not close when you swap the reflections in Rfree set. The 'free' reflections are freed when you do proper refinement, i.e., when the value of the target function becomes stationary. See https://doi.org/10.1107/S0907444997013875 and https://doi.org/10.1107/S0907444999016868 for the mathematical background, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1502136112 for an experimental treatment, and Ian Tickle's explanations on this topic here on the CCP4bb.
