I simply answered the question. "What is the average condylar guidance?" There are several old published articles that have concluded 32 degrees to be the average of all people. There was no philosophical component to the initial post. Yes, I agree that when building different appliances it may be best to change the inclination on the articulator. But, if we really want to get it right why not take the protrusive bite registration and come as close to duplicating the actual incline of the condile.
