If your roll center is too high, lowering it adds traction.

Roll center tuning 101 right here. Try to not get stuck in generalization land.
That's what I said... in a way that's easier to understand than high/low roll center as that usually throws people off. I do understand roll center, I am an assistant in the AP roll center class.

You just gave the same generalization but more long winded. From my experience, what I stated holds true on high bite indoor clay or low traction outdoor. You said the same but in a more polished but confusing roll center explanation way.

If they realized the error of their ways -- so can you. I have personally found less washers making the rear have way more grip at our track (that is my experience)
but at other tracks, more washers was better. (but you didn't say less grip, you said better. So could be better with less grip and that's what higher inner ball stud does for me. All seat of the pants.)

Carry on, nothing to see here
