Fortunately, many of these capacitors have minimal effect on the circuit
Parasitic capacitances to a voltage source can be neglected
Parasitic capacitances to a virtual AC GND can be neglected
(the effect of the capacitance is divided by the open-loop gain)

We still have parasitic capacitances effecting our result
We can either make large to swamp out parasitic capacitors,
or use a stray insensitive design
