if referenced off a tooth, theoretically the stock should pass. you want to check both sides. being that close will not allow for any deviation of the knife.
i actually prefer the riving knife to be thinner than the blade. the blade kerf size plays a role with the knife.
I was resetting it since I never used a digital gauge to set it just a straight edge and I think it was causing material to shift/twist a little so I wanted it to be as close as perfect as I could get it.
I have the same saw and you will be fine out 2 thou. I actually find the fence needs to be readjusted every now and again as it does go out. I honestly just bend/push the riving knife if it starts squeezing the stock as it goes through.
Unless you were able to true the blade to the miter ways, your measurements mean nothing. Lay a straightedge against the blade, then check for any gap at the riving knife.
