Agreed, and that is precisely why the wiki method is so bad! It starts with suggesting that you blindly ruin the potentially perfect setup it had when delivered! If you’d instead just check with the 0.4 mm feeler gauge before touching any thumb screw, you’d have a chance to see that it’s perfectly fine, no tinkering needed.
IMHO they should correct or amend the wiki. Not that I care a lot, I’m good now.
