I've always felt that the Fender Strat recommended 'action' settings are too low. Although they do say that they're for a light touch. In addition to using a light touch, I like to option of hitting the guitar quite hard. It just supports the view that you need to set up your guitar action for your own personal playing style. Which is why I would recommend learning to do it yourself to your own tastes and not rely on so called 'experts'.

Interesting thread. I check my octave intonation every time I change my strings, which is before every gig, and it's often necessary to make slight adjustments.
