You are correct, except that you can't machine stock pushrods. You can and
should adjust length on tubular racing pushrods by carefully using a parting
tool in a lathe, then heating and re-seating the ends.

Basically, if you are rebuilding an engine anyway, adjust the compression with
pistons, not head shaving.  Around 9.5 is a nice compromise for street use.
