This is true. I have a turntable that has a small notched arm on the back of the tonearm that a small counter-weight hangs off of. The notches do not allow the most precise adjustment. I tried three different notches and found slight channel imbalance with all but the center one.
Most, whether weight or dial, approximate the Anti-Skate because more precise settings are outside the range of most users. If you have a blank (no grooves) record, you can set the anti-skate so the needle neither skates to the inside or the outside of the vinyl. But such special requirements are beyond a typical user.
However, if you listen carefully, you can hear when the Anti-Skate is right. Though it takes a keen ear and a distraction free environment.
