"If the 0.26pf is the aggregate stray of 10 resisters, then (as you
say) the error would be 41%

I dont know what the real stray capacitance of resisters are, but if
the resisters used have stray that is too high, one should be able to
minimize the effect by increasing the load capacitance to bring the
capacitance divider ratio back to 10000:1

	As I said before, all you really need is a 100 kV square wave generator
to calibrate with.  Certainly adjusting the shunt capacitance would work
fine if you had a means of knowing when you had the correct value.
