Sounds a bit "IF'y" to me...
It's not "iffy" at all. In fact, the tech rep is right on the money.

With and adjustable timing light, you adjust the light so that you are reading zero degrees and the setting of the light is the injection timing.

He's also correct regarding comparing the vehicle to one with known timing.

As I previously explained, above, the SD was calibrated to known timing of 15°ATDC and the pulse timing was 13.5°BTDC. There's your calibration for the pulse system.........13.5° BTDC.
