I think the "perfect fit" theory is a product of the (the soundboard is an) 
"arched structure" theory. If the ribs on the soundboard function like an 
engineering arch, then you might have some reasoning to go for that "perfect

fit". Although, even then, if your panel/rim glue joint is good, you still 
wouldn't need a perfect fit. But the soundboard is not an engineering arch, 
so the perfect fit won't do anything for you.
