And if my thinking is right on this, it does make no
sense--until you add in the context of the mirror holder, and whether/how
the maker has designed the mirror holder and the instrument as a whole to be
used with front or rear silvered glass.
I think all of your points are valid, but here's the catch as I see it, the cylinder or domino method (for front silvered mirrors) works equally well for rear silvered mirrors. Not so the other way around (using the arc). So if you are not sure you can use the cylinder method and still know that you have got it right.
