Thank you, Bill, for your reply.

Well, at least I understand your reasons for deciding to support Newton's
comment.

However, I can't agree that closing the gap is necessarily a desirable act
in all situations, especially in this particular one, that being, Terry
Farrell's description of visible plate bending as well as pinblock
separation, and his concern for potential plate breakage.

Hence, the reason for the suggestion I gave as a happy medium.
