Fair point- but that means your guiding performance must be a red herring. How does the size of the star elongation compare with the logged error in guiding? If they're comparable, then yes, any element in the system could be your problem. If the guide log is telling you that the image should be better than it is, then the problem is restricted to the part of the system where there can be a difference between imaging and guide chip.
I'm sure I'm not adding anything you haven't already figured out here....

thankyou
