Deliberate inaccurate polar alignment?

Saw this post on sbig yahoo group recently


---------------
Precise polar alignment can actually cause more problems than it solves. A small polar error results in a slight declination drift that with proper balance can peg the dec drive to one side of the worm and thus potentially avoid bouncing and occilations. This is similar to the common practice of weight-balancing RA to keep the RA worm on one side.

Have not heard of doing this. Sound like all this energy I have invested In the past to get perfect alignment may be the wrong thing to do.

Any thoughts on this ? Anyone here actualy doing this ?
