If I want to make adjustments of a fraction of a degree, I use folded
paper on the backside of the molding in the appropriate spot.


Let's investigate this a bit. *So instead of adjusting your cutting
angles to make the mitered trim fit the corner, you shim the molding
away from the wall to make it fit your miter? *What you're saying is
that you are going to caulk no matter what you do.

Caulk is a band-aid, not craftsmanship.

Uh, you misunderstood what I'm talking about. I can make adjustments
to my cut WHEN USING THE SAW in fractions of a degree by placing
folded paper between the molding and the saw guide where appropriate.
