I think they are not interesting on a vertex-by-vertex basis, but over regions they are.

Hi,
here's an email from Don Hagler from February 2009:
It seems to me that vertex areas in the native subject space are not
meaningful. The orig surfaces should be uniformly tesselated; however, topology correction and final surface finding should introduce complicated and probably uninteresting variation.
i couldn't find a direct reply to this remark, hence my question: is this true? and if so, does this imply that native space surface measurements (as given in the aparc.stats file) are uninteresting for statistical analysis?
