@musclecary They can't. Eggs are not always the same, the weather is different.. When making pasta dough, you have to sense it. Just knead the dough with usual amount of eggs..if it feels to dry, add a tiny amount of water or oil, if you prefer that (will make the dough more elastic) and knead some more. I always make my pasta dough by hand and not with a machine! Only use the KA for welling out the dough.
The real dough for pasta DOES NOT need water in it!!! The right ingredients are as follows: for each egg, 100 grams of flour. That's it! I am Italian...I prepare often tagliatelle and fresh ravioli! Trust me
"Small amount of water may need to be added?" This is not scientific nor helpful. HOW MUCH WATER? WHEN? With reg flour or semolina? You don't say how long to rest the dough. The recipes with the book don't work. My sheets fell apart.
Thanks for the Video
We just bought the Pasta Attachments for our KA

I would think it will depend on several factors, like humidity, temp. in the kitchen, etc. Experience will tell you, let you judge what you need.

I agree completely that Kitchenaid falls far short here! if you use semolina pasta flour this information is virtually useless.
