How many Mopar owners does it take to screw in a distributor?

I've had people tell me the reason my car wasn't starting was because the drive gear was off, weather it is off a tooth or 90^ as long as your plug wires correspond to the rotor orientation then it doesn't matter. I feel the only reason there is even a standard is to make it easy on mechanics when troubleshooting, otherwise it doesn't matter.
