I think you are being a little bit too knit picky here. What he is saying is that you do not need a camber kit. And he is right. But if you don't, expect uneven tire wear and replacing tires sooner than normal. Some like to run some neg camber. And a little is not too bad. But if you want OEM spec alignment, spend the $500+ on a camber kit.

But the point I was trying to make is, that on some cars, the alignment will be barely out of spec so a little neg camber will be fine and will most likely not wear out tires much faster than normal. So save the $700 camber kit/install fees... (ie Eibach Springs--some say it was very close to being in spec)

IMHO If your car is not your DD I think not having a camber kit would be ok... I ran a 1.2" drop on my Infiniti G35 coupe and had no camber kit on it. Camber was off but not too bad. Maybe an additional -1 degree front and rears. Tires lasted 36K miles. Not too bad!
