Hi!

HaHaHaHaHa... *I used to design high performance computers.
Engineers often sprinkle bypass caps all over the place for
insurance and there are always more than need be.

Very well then. I'll stand aside in light of your experience here.

However, in the hope of not making things worse, I'd be very hesitant
to suggest that someone just pull components out of a circuit and hope
it still works properly...
