Hi John, agreed - if you are referring to high-T fluid inclusion studies in quartz. However in combination with mineral equilibria, fluid inclusions in other peak metamorphic minerals such as garnet or sillimanite are an important tool to constrain the peak metamorphic fluid chemistry and give insight in fluid-rock interaction during peak conditions. Maybe its the only straightforward way ....
