In the absence of such prior knowledge, however, the resolution of the regularized solution is limited not by the analysis (assuming reasonable discretization), but rather by the information content of the experiment. It is important to recognize the nature of this limit, in order not to overinterpret the data. Of course, it also would be trivial, although usually misguided, to perform a distribution analysis simply not applying this regularization step at all, and to rely on the exact solution of the fit with the high-resolution model, which usually produces artifactual detail that is the result of noise amplification due to the ill-conditioned nature of the basic Eq. (3).
