With as few as 14 or 15 digits of precision there is no visible aliasing.
Since f=s+1/2(1-x) one might expect Max(f)=Max(s)+1/2(1-x), but such is not the case. Consider the extrema of f and s:
We see f has a max of approx 199.6486735 at 22.8766445, and s has a max of approx 211.4872368 at 22.9359616.
The max of s is approx 11.8385633 greater that that of f.
Notice that f and s have their max at different values of the independent variable; s has its max approx 0.5931714 to the left of that for f.

After taking the second derivative, numeric evaluation indicates that f and s both have an inflection point at z=20.0931628620845....
