Hi,
I have a confusion about the usage of Stoll correction to correlation.

In page 62 of the ADF User's Guide, it remarks"The Stoll formula is
considered to be a correlation correction to the Local Density
Approximation.It is conceptually not correct to use the Stoll correction and
apply non-local gradient (GGA) corrections to the correlation.
It is the user's responsibility, in general and also here, to avoid using
options that are not solidly justified theoretically."

As I know, Stoll formula is considered as a SIC correction. see
Phys.Rev.A.1998,57,1721;Benchmark calculations for lanthanide atoms
Calibration of ab initio and density-functional methods.

However ,I haven't found any application of stoll correction in ADF works or
examples.
What's more, what does the remark above in the manual mean ?
