Magnetoresistance rotation data in the pressure range 6.0–8.3 kbar in the quasi-one-dimensional metal (TMTSF)2PF6 are well reproduced by semiclassical simulations. Thus, benchmarks suggested by an incoherent interlayer transport model for non-Fermi-liquid behavior are not met, in contrast to results at higher pressures. A saturating magnetoresistance, however, appears nonclassical. More definitive criteria on what is and is not a Fermi liquid are required before the ultimate fate of this and related low-dimensional conductors can be determined.
