AND the z-score for your solution stands out from the z-scores for
incorrect (/other) solutions. I've gotten z-scores > 8 for a known
incorrect solution while testing (searching for a domain not present in
the crystal, so this test was probably unrealisticly difficult). The
highest/second highest z-scores for the incorrect domain were roughtly
equal (~8.7/~8.2); for the correct domain they were ~ 35/7).

So as long as you're checking phaser statistics, this is another one to
check.
