I tried to reproduce you search and I get slightly different counts of 
structures but in the essence yes, I see a similar search result [1].

We'll have a look. If the structures are simulated then we'll mark them 
as theoretical – thanks for the notification!

Unfortunately, when the CIFs are ingested from the supplementary 
material it is quite hard to recognise theoretical stuff, so we'll have 
to rely on the post-processing review. Although, I now think, modern 
structures without R-factors can most probably me marked as 
theoretical... I forward this to our team.

We would put them into TCOD, probably (PCOD is for Armel's ans his 
colleagues' mass-predicted structures); but, unfortunately part of 
theoretical structures still land in the COD, so we can only mark them 
as such.

No problems, your e-mail reached the correct address (it would be 
forwarded to me anyway ;).

Its the 'cod-bugs at lists.crystallography.net' address (declared, albeit 
as a pixel image, on the front page of the COD Wep page, at the bottom). 
I redirect the conversation there so that our team sees it).

Saulius
