The distances do get modified to match the r**-6 averaging; in the (somewhat
obsolete) language of the field, this modification is not a "pseudoatom"
correction, however.
Generally speaking, if you have a distance that would be appropriate for
a single-proton peak, you should accept the modification for the r**-6
averaging.
