I believe I heard Dr. Sanderson say that it does.  It may only be like
the classic physics question:  How much would a feather indent a
polished steel surface plate when dropped from 1 foot high?

I would be more concerned about how much the tuning of the mid section
changes due to the air conditioning coming on 5 min. later.  Now we're
talking cents, not fractions.
