From the Selle SMP instructions:
"Stage 2 – Fine adjustment
Once the saddle has been positioned as per the above instructions, carry out the classical fine adjustment with an Allen wrench on the clamp according to how you “feel” the saddle, finding the perfect balance and the right ‘tuning’ between the saddle and the ischial tuberosities.
The saddle nose can be gradually lowered by even 10 - 15 – 20 mm, and the distance between the saddle tip and the handlebar can be reduced by even 5 – 10 - 15 mm"

The saddle should be positioned to fit the rider, not just to fit a carpenters tool.
