Well, I also tune that way, I think most people do. What I was told, and sounds reasonably reasonable to me is that the bridges constitute different systems, and that intermingled tuning with the bass bridge system and the other might have some effect, at least when raising a lot of pitch, which would then of course render the previously set stability parameters useless hohohoho....
