That is my understanding as well.

hmmm ... from "error" or from "stat."? Should chi^2 be 1 first?

Confusingly, XDS calls that I/SIGMA from what I understand (which as I
said before is NOT what SCALA calls I/sigma)
Since we only use XDS and (mostly) SCALA in the lab, that is very
confusing.
I am pretty sure btw that I have myself -wrongly- quoted I/sigma as
being <I/sigma(I)> in at least 3-4 papers.
And I can bet I am not the only one that did so.
<I>/sigma<I> and <I/sigma(I)> are in my view more deterministic labels
and will get safer on their way to "Table 1".
