Yesterday, an interesting story was posted on the Rebrickable blog.
It's about two minor slope variations (92946 and 15672) which actually does have a (relatively) 'major' impact on the way the piece can be used.
I was wondering, does the LDraw library included such minor variations? I guess the answer is yes, since the library also includes other mold variations. But, this one is so minor, almost unoticeable on a PC screen.
Aside from that, it does mean that our current 92946 is actually slightly wrong. At the moment, the slope is exactly the same as 3040b, which it shouldn't be according to the measurements (and even LDD, as stated in the post).
Any thoughts about this?
