I think the problem here is these guys are not setting them "correctly". If your master cylinder has some range left because your playing around with the engagement point and then taking up free play to set a particular pedal height (or what ever reason its thought to be a grand idea) as the clutch wears, your going to have a slipping clutch if you don't re adjust it for more free play, period. There are several ways to foul this adjustment up, yet several ways to make it work if your accounting for enough free play, if you have enough free play with the master adjusted out fully always, your right that it will work for as long as the disc's life. Problem is the Master isn't always adjusted out fully, and in that scenario that free play will get taken up as the disc wears, and if you don't catch it and re adjust, you will begin to ride the clutch and walla... you have this thread.
