I realize that you and Yoshi both see a need for this kind of correction/compensation, and I hesitate to disagree, but I wonder if it's necessary, or correct.

There is mechanical inertia on both ends of the cycle (opening and closing). And I have a feeling these two effects net to zero.

I think your nice drawing provides a way to see this. If you sum the two red regions, it looks like the result is 1ms of full flow. If so, then we're getting the same total flow that we would get in a universe with no mechanical inertia.
