Don,
Thanks for the link. From looking at the pics it seems the legs are plumb from the table and the one pic of the adjustable foot shows the wiggle room you mention above.
That said, and understanding the need to keep all pieces within the confines of the table top, there is no reason the upper blocks couldn’t be mounted 3"(or more) in from each edge and then drilled at a 5 degree cant to give a slight angle to the legs while keeping the foot inside the confines of the top.
This would increase the stability of the narrow table while keeping the legs out of foot traffic reach. IMHO The more industrious designers would drill so the 5 degree cant angled the leg both to the side and the edge.
This could also be done on the time saver, Ric, with a shim under the threaded ring, if you don’t want to change the whole design.
To add, that the adjustable foot is a really good improvement for using on any table that needs to be set up in multiple areas.
