-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Frank,
I would not call it 'axiomatic' but 'statistics' to reduce the (stochastic) error by several independent measurements. You can probably give any statistics textbook as a reference. In real life, though, you have to compromise with radiation damage, though. For references I recommend searching journals.iucr.org for 'Garman' as author. If you add 'radiation damaga' as keywords, the result reduces to 37 hits of choice.
