So, first, there is no load. Now, there is a load, but it doesn't count in this case. Man...when are you going to run for office
FWIW, I agree that the load presented by the cap doesn't matter. But, since I think the cap is useless, why have the extra load...
oh, wait...this is Dalton...why didn't I see this before...caps are good because...
