Cool Indie Shop's Alignment Machine Doesn't Accept Requests!

Yesterday, I took my 2010 Honda Accord EX to my local aligner/mech. to have the toe touched up.

While he was able to achieve the negative thrust angle I requested via his Hunter rig, he told me "the machine won't let me through the process if I try to set front toe to anything but 0.0°" My request was for just 0.03° toe in on the fronts, left and right. Honda allows for up to 0.08° toe, in or out, for a total of 0.16°, so I know my request was not that draconian.

What's really going on here? The guy is not a 'McDonalds' aligner - just "get em in the green" - he actually knows his angles and listens to customer requests
