After reading the descriptions of JR Boisclair's thoughts shared on TA Bearing accuracy, it seems the Designer / Producer of the TA I use are sharing similar thoughts.

The TA has beatings produced using interface materials that are extremely stable, machined to low microns as a tolerance and are with the lowest coefficient of friction. Other parts used are also capable of less than a micron adjustment.

Reports like your own help to underpin my own thoughts behind the reasons why such a positive impression is made when experiencing this TA in use.   

I use Stevenson A as my method for Alignment.

I have not been needing to consider any other Alignment Geometry, I am more than content with Stevenson A.

I have not suspected anything negative is present in relation to the effect of the Geometry used for the Cartridge Alignment.   

The Japanese have throughout the 20th Century produced innovative designs in all areas of Technology, to the point where they were a World Leading Authorities.

Like all Business Models based on Technology there is the High Turnover Market and the Bespoke Market, Japan pretty much had both Markets sewn up and was proved to be very difficult to penetrate.

They did also contribute to a rise in Home Grown Markets cashing in on the Trends that Japan was so successful at bringing to the Mass Market Arena.

Questioning the design intent behind a range of Japanese TA's is futile as a activity, these designs are secure in their roles and very special to their owners or alternatively witnessed to be endlessly resurfacing as the option that proved to be better than many many others experienced.
