I agree. I was within 0.1 degrees of what the laser alignment machine said on my VW using toe plates and some easy Excel calculations. Some of that may just be that I drove the car between my garage and the alignment shop, so I'd say I am dead-nuts especially because of weight transfer, air pressure changes, and all the other variables that can contribute to microscopic changes in toe.
