I'm afraid this is not correct, because the method you mention is not actually how the wheel does it, although the effect is the same (the manual is misleading in this respect, but i only actually learned how it works when i built the new version from scratch, rather than using templates). In order to make wheels for GWX and stock i've had to make three different wheels. If you use the wrong one, you get the wrong answer.
However, in the appendix of the manual, there is a section which shows how to correct for using low magnification. You use the AOB finder to do it and the process takes less time than it does to type into a digital calculator, because as we all know sliderules operate by the power of black magic...
