So what is your “standard” for balance? It appears you neglect to account for oil clinging to the piston and rod as well.

Good enough for you is what? And BTW, have you ever balanced a crank?

We've already covered that... I've done the weighing of components, never spun the crank...
Doesn't mean my opinion is wrong..
Yes, oil clings to everything & it effects balance...
The standard of acceptable balance needs to look at the application...
If you use aerospace tolerances to machine a bench vise your gonna spent a lot of $$$ for no reason & never gonna get anything done...
An engine that sees 6500 doesn't require the level of scrutiny that an engine that spins 9-10K does... But then again an engine that rarely sees 4K needs even less...
