 For my crude measuring instruments it does

 (help accuracy to deal with large approximate voltages).

I can't measure small values very accurately.

Measuring a volt or more should be trivial even with inexpensive equipment.

Measuring less than a volt,

 e.g. to 3 decimal places

 is a problem.

No, it's not.

I guess you mean,

 charge must_be (=is) unique

 (if it has nothing to do with spin).?

Does a neutron have (any) charge?

E.g. Can we accelerate or deflect neutrons

 with (electro) magnetism (at all)?

 

(..

Is a (neutral) neutron (dielectrically) polarizable? e.g. to some degree (chargeable).

Can a neutron have (or get (some kind of, or amount of)) spin? e.g. rotation.

E.g. like a spinning [base]ball.

If yes I would expect a (~bell shaped) statistical distribution curve.

Variation(s) (away) from (given, ideal) exact (whole number) integers.

E.g.  (+/-%) (mechanical measurement) tolerances, you might (also?) call uncertainties?

E.g. Is it possible the (Heisenberg) uncertainty principle

 is (just a fancy wording, for) dealing with something like (the metal) industry's

 "+/- Tolerances" (of measurement,

 e.g. in length)?

Since your instruments

 are not precise enough,

 you loose a decimal place of accuracy,

 thus defining the ruff approximation

 as quantized (into (number) groups),

 integerized into integers, ruff approximations.

 .. (for the lack of precision).

 

Quantum

 isn't that (really, a (fancy) word)

 (for meaning)

 ruff approximation(s)?

The experiment you describe should not be giving such small values. You could do a DC experiment with a couple of 9V batteries, and get 18 V difference between the plates. Mains voltage should be much higher.

electrons are charged, as are protons, and a whole host of other subatomic particles

No.

Yes. Neutrons do have a charge distribution despite being neutral, so they have a magnetic moment, and can be deflected in a magnetic field.

Neutrons are spin 1/2

quantum spin is not physical rotation. It is intrinsic angular momentum.

You and a lot of classical physicists ~100 years ago. They were shocked to find that these particles are either spin up or spin down, rather than having a distribution. (Stern-Gerlach experiment)

Industry tolerances are not driven by quantum mechanical uncertainty.

The opposite of quantum is continuum.

It means there are discrete values, rather than continuous distributions (as one might classically expect)
