[phenixbb] amazing good statistics

Hi Christian,

this is kind of Rwork/Rfree that you would get if you take a very high 
resolution structure, may be 1.2-1A and higher, cut the data off at 
2.2A, and refine it again.
So one explanation is that your crystals could probably diffract to a 
higher resolution...

The command

phenix.r_factor_statistics 2.2

gives typical R-factors at around 2.2A resolution are:
