If any given Kirchhoff Node is small enough that
it's self capacitance is negligible (a not
unreasonable condition) then it will not build up
enough charge to violate the Current Rule.
The idea of an arbitrarily small 'node' does not seem extreme.
(Circuit board designers need to be aware
of the shortcomings of their media).)
It DOES seem a bit odd to consider a helicopter to be a circuit 'node'.
Kirchhoff's RULES seem better than Kirchhoff's LAWS.
(I always taught Ohm's Rule of Thumb instead of Ohm's Law.)
