MB DOC, Steve B, Larry Bible... Tell me what these alignment data mean

Just replaced upper control arms and lower struts on 2001 S430. Got an alignment and a "camber/caster bolt kit" was installed
ones digit will represent degrees and tenths minutes
Rear Axle
camber
L -1.4 (before) to -1.37 (after) range should be -1.03 +/- .30
R 1.32 to 1.36
Is rear axle camber not adjustable because they are out of spec after alignment?
toe
total .25 corrected to .46 range .43 +/- .07
L .16 to .22
R .09 to .24 range .22 +/- .04
geometrical driving axis
.03 to -.01 range 0 +/- .15
Front Axle
camber
L -.59 to - .56 range -.46 +/- .20
R -1.00 to -1.02 same range
Why are the number not exactly -.46? Is the adjustment not fine enough?
caster
L 7.58 to 8.39 range 8.55 +/- .30
R 8.11 to 9.06
track diff angle
R wheel lock - 1.45 to -1.56 range -1.34 +/- .30
L wheel lock -1.32 to - 1.38
toe
unpressed .57 to .18 no range given
pressed
total .59 to .18 range .20 +/- .10
L .31 to .09 range .10 +/- .05
R .27 to .09
Any comments? Was the job well done? Why list tire pressures/ tread depth re alignment? They even listed tire size and brand- perhaps for analysis of ride quality.
