I think you're right (at least as far as 1x1 round plates go). I know the
more common theory is due to (potential) inaccuracy in the sorting
machines, but after buying many many sets with 1x1 round plates in them, I
have always ended up with one extra 1x1 round plate of each colour in each
set.

Agreed!

In set 6617 that also has separate bags for each submodel there's also an
extra 1x1 round plate per bag so I got several extras.

Small joysticks also always come +1.
