I think that the absolute need for these to be a perfect 90 is hugely overstated. At no point is it to be used for a 90degree reference, though obviously in order for the measurement to be perfectly calibrated and repeatable, ideally it would always be registered in the same spot.
But let's say they had a touch of play - it would only introduce a very slight amount of in accuracy to the cut. Literally a fraction of the amount of play in terms of the accuracy it telegraphed to the actual rail-to-wood.
I would certainly agree that accuracy to the nearest 1/64" should be the goal, but I do have to laugh when folks speak of their .0005 accuracy achieved in any given woodworking task...
Casework to within 1/64 or so is all you'll get and all you'll need in most cases.
