There was a problem hiding this comment.
Is decreasing the S/N like this commonplace? If used recklessly, this could lead to erroneously small S/N values and (further?) correlated errors within the spectrum. At some point, I could see the virtue of a flag or something indicating that the spectrum has been smoothed (and thus the low S/N). I suppose that the user should just really need to be more careful than this, though.
