Yes I agree.
My previous post was to highlight what can happen to the unwary when trying to do a DIY adjustment of the lateral position of the rotor, it is very easy to to get the capacitance value wrong compared to it's original capacitance value, way beyond what the adjustable outer vanes can compensate for, and sometimes what the trimmers/padders can compensate for especially on shortwave bands.
Distance wise the two distances between the rotor plate and any two adjoining stator plates will always add up to the total of the original two distances no matter how far the rotor is adjusted in the lateral plane because it's a simple matter of addition and subtraction, things change capacitive wise because of variable division numbers (distances between rotor and the two adjoining stator plates) comes into play in the parallel plate capacitor formula.
