  I evaluate S_{APQCD}, the exact action of Abelian projection QCD, using the
microcanonical demon method. Starting with a trial action consisting of L=1,
L=2, & L=3 LxL plaquettes plus a Smit-van-der-Sijs magnetic monopole ``mass''
operator, I show that coefficients of the L=2 and L=3 plaquettes vanish at all
beta_{SU2}. In fact, at strong coupling S_{APQCD} is essentially the 1x1
compact QED action with beta_{U1}=beta_{SU2}/2. Beyond beta_{SU2}>=2, S_{APQCD}
gains an exogenous negative 1x1x1 magnetic monopole mass shift. Note that my
approach differs fundamentally from the Smit-van-der-Sijs approach in that I do
not make an a priori assumption about monopole or plaquette size in S_{APQCD}.
Indeed, these results suggest that QCD monopoles are pointlike, in contrast to
the ``effective'' condensation picture put forth by Smit and van der Sijs.
