It also assumes that "level" in your viewfinder is "level" on the sensor.
I know that I have a tendency to tilt images, so when I remember I try to correct myself. But sometimes, evenm when I'm sure that I've been scrupulously careful in lining up a vertical object with the edge of the frame, I end up with a distinctly noticeable tilt in the result. Nowadays, of course, it would be hard to get a 100% viewfinder; just where the sensor is in the frame can vary quite a bit when SR is used.
