[CP2K:3714] why energies the same?

[Chetan Mahajan]

Hi Teo

Yeah, you are right! My lowest difference is 0.162 H and it is significant
when I convert to kcal/mol. I was just not sure how to rate the
significance of these numbers when nuclear configurations are changing
quite a bit. Now I know even these differences matter.

Thanks
Chetan
