Hayduk and Glaser (2000) asserted that the most commonly used point estimate of the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation index of fit (Steiger & Lind, 1980) has two significant problems: (a) The frequently cited target value of. 05 is not a stable target, but a "sample size adjustment"; and (b) the truncated point estimate Rt = max(R, 0) effectively throws away a substantial part of the sampling distribution of the test statistic with "proper models," rendering it useless a substantial portion of the time. In this article, I demonstrate that both issues discussed by Hayduk and Glaser are actually not problems at all. The first "problem" derives from a false premise by Hayduk and Glaser that Steiger (1995) specifically warned about in an earlier publication. The second so-called problem results from the point estimate satisfying a fundamental property of a good estimator and can be shown to have virtually no negative implications for statistical practice.
