Thanks... yes it definitely does matter. When I first started troubleshooting this I checked the alignment and it was off by 4mm at the rim. Corrected it, but it wasn't enough to solve the problem.

Maybe otheres could weigh in whether Shimano 10 speed road shifters work this way.
You want me to provide websites that backup my cable pull measurements so that you can learn something new? Put your bike in your workstand and measure it. Takes all of 5 min.

Literally zero impact on indexing beyond the innermost cog(s).
Yes the limit screws limit the derailleur for the first and last cogs. I think most people get that. The point of this thread is what happens when there is too much cable pull and the derailleur isn't indexing properly.
