Consequently the scalar completed expression with an independent fixed free graviton has the defect
Indeed the full second slot for would be . Apply Lemma lem:scalaridentity, polarize, and subtract that missing affine term. This proves the X-E-ST truncation formula without an Einstein-shell shortcut XEST,XE.
