I understand your point fully as the ultimate end result is the same and to you and the rationale would sound like semantics; but for those of us that spend out days trying to keep these things from happening, it matters. For example, center bolt failures are exactly why I recommend against another poster trying to reuse the factory bolt, and why the better made aftermarket kits use a much larger center bolt without the under cut for the O-ring, which is where most bolt failures start.
