"false tune" statement ridiculous.
While you might find this statement ridiculous, I find it to be very real. If you could spend some time with me in the shop, you'd soon be using that statement yourself. And yes, these "folks were never tuned to begin with."; but, they didn't know that!! And yes, their egos make them want to believe that they're tuning experts. You can have all your arrows hitting in the same group and not be tuned correctly.
I should have said that I find the "false tune" statement in regards to the Whisker Biscuit to be ridiculous. Sorry , I know you can tune the snot out of a bow and arrow setup.
I just feel that the scenarios you provided can be related to any type of rest!
As I get older I also feel that some folks are going WAY overboard with the tuning crap.
When I setup a bow it's always for hunting purposes. I use paper tuning as a starting point , then I group tune out to 40 yds max. I then paper tune at the longer distances out to 40 yds. When I setup a bow for other hunters I ask how far they feel confident in shooting. The overwhelming majority stay within their hunting range which is 20 yds max with a few that will shoot out to 30 yds. The tuning process for hunters who keep it closer range is easier in my opinion. All we're looking to accomplish is achieving good arrow flight with broadheads and tight groups. Anything else is a waste of time and a headache in my opinion.
I guess when folks apply the term "easy to tune" to the whisker biscuit I think they must be refering to not having to worry about fletching contact. Other than that I dont find the whisker biscuit to be any easier than any other rest when it comes to tuning.
