In the lines I'm looking at, it's often a lot bigger actually.

Remember SE are 'sticky'. If it thought a move was singularly
better at one point it will keep extending it for a few more
iterations after it no longer seems singular. Not seeing a
0.25 pawn difference doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't
singularly extended.
