I have said many times that you can choose to analyze the individual

However, if you get different answers, including more or less
completeness, then you have made an error. That is the essence of
superposition. If that property was not true, then superposition would
be of little value.

An energy analysis yields exactly the same results as any
other valid method of analysis and is often much easier.

A strange assertion given that in another thread your energy
analysis was incapable of producing any result while alternative
techniques could readily answer the question.
