Sounds like a loaded question, but I will answer it anyway.

I routinely edge joint (lightly) after ripping to remove any saw marks.

Why would you joint a strait board?

Keep in mind also that a "slight" taper result is common on all
jointers.

Not on mine.

Jointers are not used to create parallel surfaces, only straight and
flat
surfaces. The TS should be used to make the opposite edge smooth and
parallel.

Only to take it out of parallel at the jointer??
