Where do you buy your capacitors - Planet Ultron?   Given their very nature
and the limitations on measurement you'd find it difficult to match better
than about 1%.

I think you're very much splitting hairs. 

Look at the crystal manufacturer's data sheets, and tell me where they show
unequal values in any normal application. 

Or are you making the case, that like two resistors, they may be 0.001% off
no matter how carefully they match them?
