Have you read Chuck Traeger's section on this subject?

Most good luthiers go to great effort to get the bottom of the feet to conform as closely as possible to the table. If you tilt the bridge in or out from the angle established by the luthier, the feet are no longer going to have complete contact with the top.
And yes - I have read all sections of Chuck Traeger's book.
