The bolt tether (screw) along with the added bolt block are below the contact plane of the window bolt and cylinder notch so any clearance to allow vertical movement of the bolt in the window is going to be a bolt crowding offset support. Any clearance of the bolt to allow vertical motion in the window is going to be slightly tilted when impacted by the cylinder notch contact from it's rotation and the off set block below the contact plane is not going to eliminate all of this motion. The window in the frame is still going to be the main rotation block via the bolt. The early bolt drop and it's spring tension on the cylinders circumference will lesson this impact inertia from the contact and subsequent slight twisting/tilting motion of the bolt in its clearance from cylinder rotation energy.
Fanning is abuse of a revolver and out side any design parameters of a revolver and will eventually loosen them all no matter whats done to strengthen them.
Try not to be offended by thought contrary to your own and resist the tendency to be riled up and think for a moment from a different prospective, you may learn some things of value that can advance your own skill level.
I think back to when I started my apprenticeship in glass work and the things I learned from my mentors but over time (50 years plus now) I found my own ways and means and methods of doing the same work more effectively and efficiently than what I had been taught by the experts of the time. The same has been true of gun work which I've been doing for nearly the same length of time.
