I think you are right. I would add to caveats. First, I think you meant to say that the ripped work piece will never be wider than where it first makes contact with the front teeth (and I have made a correction in red to your above quote). Second, the lack of parallism won't matter as long as the back of the fence is skewed further away from blade. If out of parallel and skewed toward the blade, there will be pinching and kickback.

You are correctomundo - Oh Happy Days. Change made.
