Yes.  The E is just window dressing; it doesn't do anything.
I just put it there to emphasize that measurement error *could*
be there, but I really want to assume it away/absorb it into
the ``child effect'' (since it can't be distinguished from being
part of the child effect without replication).

I *thought* I had put a comment to this effect into my code; guess
it got deleted in the editing process.

Sorry for the confusion.

	cheers,
