Yes, Chris does also state that "This can be hard to see or even feel with your fingers, so I recommend examining the alignment of the potentiometer posts by removing the knobs."
I believe what he says is correct because I've also read somewhere on a forum a post that one of the top "experts" on 'burst authentication alludes to this same feature as one of the tells of a fake and that he does the inspection by feel.
I've pondered this quite a bit to envision the fixture that they would use to perform this operation and I have not quite figured it out.
