You raise some very valid issues. Furthermore, I tend to agree with your perspective on the very small advantage of slightly longer tonearms. On the other hand, I have read that some people claim to hear the slight distortion from tracking error in-between the null-points, but I'm not sure I believe them. Like you, I think many audiophiles believe they hear things they would never be able to prove in a double blind test.
At any rate, both my tonearms are 9-inch tonearms and I'm perfectly happy. When I bought my SME V, I had enough money to buy any tonearm I wanted and I still bought a SME V. I have no intention of ever buying another turntable or another tonearm.
Best regards,
