I think the internets may also be overlooking the vehicle context for high caster settings: usually it's heavy German cars with 0 negative camber and little or no ability to add more from the factory that come with 7 or 8 degrees of caster. It's the only way those cars can get turned in to a corner. On a car as light and nimble as ours, and given the ability to add adequate negative camber via plates or slotted struts, I find the factory caster to be plenty.
