Interesting, do you maybe have an example at hand?

42604-1 has one in the escalator, I don't remember the details.  8299-1 has a nearly-correct diagonal forming its tail that has axles compensating for a "2 stud" distance that's actually 1.97 if everything were exact.  Unless it's a 3-4-5 triangle I think you'll find a lot of diagonals are near fits.  They can be hard to spot since they don't stress any parts. I don't know if the axle or pin has more tolerance; you can probably gauge it to some degree by seeing how much they freely tilt when inserted through a liftarm.

 

The 7L thin liftarm just drops into place like this, with no stress on it, actually it could go to a steeper angle no problem if they're both tan.  Hopefully clear what parts I'm using (tan frictionless, blue friction pin+axle)

Thanks, I replicated it to see how it 'felt'.
I'm definitely OK with using this kind of tolerance when securing a panel which on the other hand is connected through a ball joint, for example.

Still wouldn't use it as a structural solution (i.e. building a wall on top of it) though.
