// far below its neighbours; the stills path had no such guard.

// Such an image is DROPPED from the merge, not merged unscaled. Substituting G = 1 looks conservative
// but is the more damaging of the two errors: if the collapsed value was a failed fit, the image goes in
// mis-scaled by an unknown factor, and if it was a real scale (per-crystal scales on serial stills
// genuinely span orders of magnitude, unlike frames of one rotation sweep) then G = 1 divides both its
// intensities AND its sigmas by 1/G, so it enters at 1/G^2 times the weight it deserves - the merge
// cannot down-weight it, because the number that is wrong is the same number the weight is built from.
// An image whose scale is not believable has no usable scale, so it contributes nothing instead.
