This needn’t feel futile or insignificant. Consider a test to measure the alkalinity of water in swimming pools. You fill a test tube with pool water and add drops of two agents, giving the water a purple tint. Then you add drops of a third agent, counting the drops. When the water turns clear again, the number of that last drop gives you the alkalinity reading.

Maybe it’s the kid in me, but, I always like seeing the water turn clear with that last drop. Of course, the last drop doesn’t cause the entire change. Each drop makes its proportional share of the change, neutralizing the other agents in the water.
