An angled stem

I want to raise my handle bars up just a bit maybe an inch tops. My own calculations indicate that I can achieve this goal with a 17-20 degree stem. While in a LBS discussing a fit the tech says to me if your putting on an angled stem of 20-30 degrees it means "your own the wrong bike". I just wanted to reach out to the forum for any opinions. Is it somehow "wrong" to use angled stems to get you to a position of comfort?
