I don't get it. What's the downside of having an extra thread or two
beyond the nut?
With AN hardware there is only a small amount of thread - so if there
is more than 3 threads showing the chances are VERY good that the nut
is bottomed on the thread - therefore to be safe, the next shorter
bolt (1/8" shorter)needs to be installed. Airplane guys are pretty
anal - and for good reason.

Ah. Got it, thanks.
