Ø  The overall improvement of the public resource that is the PDB
takes precedence over anything else…. I might be moved to write this

up in a letter to the editor of the journal

 

This is an exceptionally noble thought that gets routinely clobbered by reality. Recent example:

Follow the comments, replies, and final editorial perception of this disaster as a ‘lively debate’

 

No retraction, no PDB update, no consequences for peptide models whose

geometry precludes their existence, and which are not supported  by density.

 

Paul Feyerabend was right, after all. Anything goes.
