Emphasis mine.

We actually cut a bunch of samples over the summer in .025" increments to test this size, and found that .425" flat-to-flat is the right number for this specific profile and material combination. This number would change for a harder or thicker material, as well as a part with less holes in it.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
