True. Actually, my favorite clamp design of all time is this cheap $20 "Forte Team" seat post from the old Performance Bike:

The bolt on the side independently adjusts rail clamping force. Once you've clamped the rails, the bolt on the back of the post then independently secures the saddle tilt. This makes it a snap to set up and it doesn't creak. I've never seen another post use that design.
