In that you recognize that installing and centering improperly dished wheels into an otherwise aligned frame can induce poor handling. And of course, the part where you say, "A wheel incorrectly dished bad enough" recognizes that the handling problems become readily recognizable the worse it gets.
I am merely recognizing what you have recognized - therefore it is by definition not a misquote - nor taken out of context.
When I take a polar position to someone else's argument - it's because I have a reason for it. Not just because I want to take the polar position.

Have it your way. For the third time, It's a niggling point. Though I may not have said it clearly enough earlier here's what I meant. If we have the situation you posit, the resulting minor hanger misalignment will be the least of the bikes problems.
Like you I don't clarify my posts just for the heck of it, but to be sure that I'm not misunderstood.
You and A.S. can split this hair until the cows come home, my point is simply that it's a split hair and doesn't matter either way in terms of function.
BTW- all too often threads dissolve into hair splitting sessions about stuff that simply doesn't matter in terms of real world functions. I'll admit that I'm sometimes as guilty as anyone in this. But it doesn't change the fact that these non-issue debates are too similar to the nonsense we see on
