ALWAYS give your disclaimer before any pitch raise.  It saves your butt even when you were on the wrong tuning pin...;-]
Actually, I'd claim responsibility in that case...a good tip is if the pitch doesn't change immediately when your tuning, your on the wrong pin and no, excess friction isn't the problem and why I should keep turning that pin...;-]
