The passage around this formula

…touches them. Only the split of JμνJ^{\mu\nu} into an orbital part and a spin part shifts, and it shifts by exactly the amount needed to keep JμνJ^{\mu\nu} fixed. Second, a limiting-case check: as v/c →\to 0 , Δ\Deltax\mathbf x →\to 0 for every finite spin, and every observer’s centroid collapses onto the same point — the nonrelativistic, frame-independent Newtonian centroid RN\mathbf R_N this article started from. That is the known-theory recovery Newtonian mechanics has every right to demand, and it is exact rather than…
