Super-Human Hearing? (Tone pot Capacitor Question)

[bubbahotep2k3]

I know I am crazy but I want to make sure that when I rewire my guitar the tone is not changed that much, so here is the question:

I currently have a 500k tone pot with at .022 Microfarad capactior on it (tolerance of +/-5%).

If I put a .02 Microfarad capactior with a tolerance of (tolerance of +/-2%),
there could as much as a 15% difference with old capacitor:

.022 x 1.05 = .0231 (maximum case scenario)
.02 x 0.98 = .0196 (minimum case scenario)

.0196 divided by .0231 = 0.848, or only 85% the same....

Would I ever hear the difference?
Or would you need super-human hearing to hear the difference?
If anything it would be so slight that it is practically negligible, right?

Thanks guys, this forum is great!

I can guarantee you'd never hear a difference. The difference is so small that it's nothing to worry about.
