Degreeing a Cam Shaft

Hang on guys;
33 +9+180= 222 and the cam card says it's a 222@.050 Tappet rise.
So then, while his method is obviously wrong, he was, if nothing else, meticulous....... lol.
From these results, I submit that his lifter, if bleeding down, it ain't by much.
So then, I would say; just repeat the procedure, and if the results are the same, then I would assume that, even if not 100% accurate to the cam card, it is still preaching an accurate centerline.
