[sdpd] Comments on SDPD by anonymous reviewers

Hi,

During those "heroic times" (before 1990 ?), many scientists
were thinking that SDPD was not a serious job. It was thus
sometimes difficult to convince the reviewers that your
manuscript merit publication. If you have struggled against
doubtful reviewers for your SDPD and kept their stranger
comments, you may send them in this thread.

1989 for the SDPD of NaPbFe2F9, manuscript submitted
to the Journal of Solid State Chemistry, Reviewer II :

"I am rather doubtful about the certainty of the structure."
...
"The indexing ambiguities are so numerous that the question
arises whether the "probable" unit cell suggested by the
DICVOL program is really "certain"."
...
"Supposing that the unit cell is correct, how, in presence
of such strong overlap, the author was able to obtain separate
structure factors for making the subsequent analysis ?"
...
"The author should reexamine more critically the problem,
supply more convincing arguments for justifying the choice
of the unit cell, and well discuss how he is able to extract the
structure factors from the overlapped reflections."
...
Etc.

;-)
