Thanyani - 

I do not follow your reference to the adjustments, but if you are looking at an aggregate of residuals, they would either be zero or asymptotically approach zero with larger numbers of residuals, unless you have partitioned results after modeling in some way. But generally they should either remove themselves, or nearly do so.  Perhaps that is not what you meant, but it is my guess based on how I read your question.
