Haven't had the opportunity to troll thru the full MPCorb data listing for the presence of the criticals, but I suspect that they're there as they show up in my astrometry application. If this is the case, why would Guide be declaring that they don't exist?

This suggests that the full MPCORB.dat file is only updated periodically while the DAILY.txt file is updated daily. Am I wrong about this?
