Two Wrongs Make Both Wrong, None Right

From the post "Maxwell, Planck And Particles",

 1εo14πa2ψdqψdtdAl=2πaψd(2πmc)dtdλ=2πaψFψdλ

If, we formulate instead,

ddt{qψ4πεoa2ψ}dAl=2πaψd(2πmc)dtdλ=2πaψFψdλ

Eψ=qψ4πεoa2ψ

ddtEψdAl=2πaψFψdλ

This expression is without any appendages because if the 2π factor missing from the circular momentum term is the only reason

εoμo,

then,

εo=μo=1c  

after we made the correction, which would set,

Zo=1=μoεo

that space present equal resistance to B and E field.  With such a change to εo, the numerical value of q changes also.

Let, consider again,

 1εo14πa2ψdqψdtdAl=2πaψd(2πmc)dtdλ

14πεo12πa2ψdqψdtdAl=aψd(mc)dtdλ=2πaψFψdλ

without the correction to circular momentum.

Since,

Jψ=12πa2ψdqψdt

 14πεoJψdAl=2πaψFψdλ

And then we make the adjustment to εo, 4πεoεnew  to correct for the mssing 2π factor for circular momentum.

 1εnewJψdAl=2πaψFψdλ

 Since, μnew=εnew=1c

 1μnewJψdAl=2πaψFψdλ

Why not simply make the adjustment mc2πmc, and obtain,

12εoJψdAl=2πaψFψdλ

as in the post "Maxwell And Particles"???

This expression is wrong because it is still using the old definitions of μo and εo.
