Of ourse not, given that you added the word "microscopically". But it's just a matter of degree.

I've already conceded that the variance in motors won't matter if it's small enough. But is it? What percent variance is there in motor output for a fixed input power? Initially? And after 5 years of use? I have no idea.

And how much difference can there be before you notice it when driving? I also have no idea.
