A missing training peak can come from exact cancellation in the signed sum. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Opposite signs can cancel

One positive and one negative contribution give amplitude 0.

A zero sum gives a missing peak

The intensity is exactly 0. This explains cancellation, not empirical diffraction corrections.
