It doesn't apply.  Matt filtered his data.  Matt used paths that only
include Fourier components within the filtered band.  To suggest that
it may somehow be reasonable that the fit could turn out other than
how it did runs a real risk of misleading this fellow who is,
apparently, a newcomer to EXAFS analysis.

OK.  Whatever.  Instead of complaining about this, perhaps you should
consider hosannas of gratitude that I make it possible, easy even, to
accommodate preferences different from my own.
