I sure would like to see the lifter in contact with the plate at all times, not just under lift.
I've got a phone call in to Randy and will let everyone know what he says when I hear from him.

A roller lifter spinning in the lifter bore, if I understand you correctly, would put a tremendous side load on the roller shaft and lifter ears supporting the roller if the roller was anywhere but true to the camshaft lobe travel.
