Ah well, that is a good question.  If you look at the early distributor specs
that statement holds true.  For late distributors it seems that the
centrifugal advance already includes static looking at the strobe figure, and
for mid-era distributors it seems to be half-way between the two!
'Go-figure', as some say.  The upshot is that these days we are probably
timing for minimal pinking and not the book figure, high-compression engines
even using 98 RON anyway.

  Paul, regarding the 41339, if you set a static of 10 deg and you have an
  *additional* centrifugal advance of 10 deg @ 1,000 rpm (which makes it all
  together 20 deg @ 1,000 rpm), how can you have a strobe of 15 deg @ 1,500
  rpm?
