Well, that's that, then. I guess I must have been mistaken during my entire 20 year career.
What you don't understand is that this is not some obscure theory, but simple observation. I would bet that many on this forum discovered this accidentally, and only later understood the reason the adjustment changes when the q/re is clamped.

Don't tell me what "should" be - either it is, it isn't, or do something about it.
If you think I'm being blunt take it as a compliment - if I thought you were too weak to handle the truth or a strong opinion I would not bother.
Please respect others by taking the time to post clearly so we can answer quickly. All lowercase and multiple typos makes for a hard read. Thanks!
