You said:The correction signal isn't going to make it back to the input of the amp any sooner. The amp's not going to delay it any more.
I don't understand this. All amplifiers have a forward transfer time delay. If they didn't, there would be no need for feedback compensation. By definition the signal arrives at the input of the amp earlier than the correction signal arrives at the output.
It is not possible for the amplifier to exhibit the closed loop output impedance in response to a new input until after the forward path has been traversed.
Otherwise you have a non-causal system.
