this from cb750, but shows my point

That is the case but the thread is discussing the proper amount of slack rather than overall chain wear. Just because your adjuster is in the green zone it does not mean you have the correct amount of slack. This slack is to make sure there is not excessive force on the chain and gearbox output shaft. Many a home mechanic has screwed up their output shaft bearing with an overtightened chain.
