Is the carb float height really so important ?

I have more or less the same set of float heights on each carb 16.5 mm left float and 18 mm right float ( within a few points of a mm) measured from the body to the top of the float body. I've read that the height should be 22mm and if so these are way off. Plus the difference between floats left and right are uniformly 1.5-2 mm out. Any logical reason for this? Cheers

Basic error, took the reading with the float valve fully seated rather than having the float body pitched to take the weight off the spring pin. All do actually read correct.
