Enclosed the equations in dashed boxes to make things clearer - let me know if this doesn't work well!

It can be shown that this formula results in higher R-factors when the redundancy is higher. In other words, low-redundancy datasets appear better than high-redundancy ones, which obviously violates the intention of having an indicator of data quality!
