If your differentials have an associated error term that is O(epsilon) or worse, then no choice of epsilon will get them to add up correctly.
That's a really good point. The solution there would be to acknowledge the uncertainty, rather than changing either the sum or the components.
Another bullet for me to bite: I'm fairly confident in #1. I'm highly uncertain on #2. I'm middling uncertain on #3. I don't intuitively like it, but I'm not actually sure how firmly I can defend that position (to myself).
Thanks! It adds up again!
