All I am saying is empirical data will prove or disprove it.
Postulating, imagining, thinking about it, saying it is just a myth, or anything else you want to call it cannot prove or disprove it. Therefore it is just an unsupported argument.
Now argue that point.

There's technically no reason to mark it in relation to the output/input flanges.
If you're removing it for something other than rebuilding the propshaft the only reason to mark it is so that if you have a vibration after reinstalling it then you know if it's the propshaft orientation or not. Personally, as I said, I don't worry about it. That's with 35 years of working on Land Rovers.
I'm sure the reason the factory manual says to do it is because those are written for dealers. By telling the mechanic to mark it it's likely to reduce any customer complaints.

Tom pretty much hit the nail on the head with his response. It eliminates the component from future complaints from the customer.

When I cleaned off some of the oil grime on mine I "discovered" a series of red, green and yellow paint marks that line up with each other on certain suspension and driveline parts. Wasn't tire crayon. Not sure if it was the rejection by inspector 47, or a mechanic with short term memory issues ... where wuz I ???
