I changed mine from .1 to .5 and it made things worse by quite a bit. But that's a more subtle change. It implies minor errors .2 and below are not really errors at all that can be guided out? Or are below the seeing so it could be just as easily as seeing rather than a gear imperfection?

Correct, I've deemed errors of 0.2 arcsec or less to be negligible for mount based corrections. And yes, clearly 0.01 was ridiculous but I'd never had cause to think it was hurting guiding. I can't say for sure that things have improved but, qualitatively, it looked like the guide errors settled down.
