I am sorry that you are having such a bad reaction to being wrong. I just can't imagine what it would be like to try to "teach" you something important that disagreed with your preconceived notions.
After rereading your posts the only thing that I don't believe that I have addressed is the discrepancy between what they wrote and what they drew. I think that Clint Dixon hit it right on the head - It is not a scaled drawing. Often for the purpose of illistration, tech manuals use unscaled drawings that exaggerate certain features in order to make the things that they are trying to communicate clear. In this case, since they happened to chose 16 degrees, it appears to have confused the issue.
As I ended my first post: Just remember, keep those input and output yokes parallel, keep the u-joints in-phase and minimize the angles. It will probably work, but you may suffer from short u-joint life.
Have a great day, Norm.
Dan
