If you go exact c-c, you're actually going to be under that number by whatever slop exist in all the holes and shafts in the system.

In his spreadsheet calculator, he recommends adding .018" for #35 chain and .012" for #25 chain.
From my experience, the actual calculated C-C distances are exactly where you want the chain to be, but due to slop between the bearing and the frame, the hex shaft and the bearing, and the hex shaft and the hex bore in the sprocket, you can have a decent amount of slop that reduces the effective C-C distance.
