  "abstract": "We translate Akin's notion of {\\it good} (and related concepts) from measures on Cantor sets to traces on dimension groups, and particularly for invariant measures of minimal homeomorphisms (and their corresponding simple dimension groups), this yields characterizations and examples, which translate back to the original context. Good traces on a simple dimension group are characterized by their kernel having dense image in their annihilating set of affine functions on the trace space; this makes it possible to construct many examples with seemingly paradoxical properties. In order to study the related property of {\\it refinability,} we consider goodness for sets of measures (traces on dimension groups), and obtain partial characterizations in terms of (special) convex subsets of Choquet simplices. These notions also very closely related to unperforation of quotients of dimension groups by convex subgroups (that are not order ideals), and we give partial characterizations. Numerous examples illustrate the results.",
