Hi Jeff,
there are quite a few implications in your brief email that each might
open a long thread of discussion. As brief as possible I think one has
to be a good scientist and a good crystallographier to fully understand
the meaning of a crystal structure, and I think many people believe a
crystal structure is just a set of coordinates.
If someone tells me some distance in yards and I assume that's about the
same as a meter I will surely get some dodgy results up to creating the
first car accident on Mars ;-)
Cheers,
Tim
