I can't respond to this poll because I don't think the question is a
reasonable one, nor are the alternatives offered sufficient

As worded, it can have only one logical answer - that I would not
*fully* trust any spacegroup determined from a powder pattern,
whether by human judgement or by a program (nor, if we wanted to be
completely precise, *every* spacegroup determined from single
crystal data either).

Depending on the actual program and person involved, I might have
more confidence in the program's result or the human's.  But in
either case some non-zero degree of uncertainty would remain.

Best wishes

Robin Shirley
