That's how you properly adjust it after replacing the master cylinder. Once completed, you should never have to adjust it again.

The nice thing about hydraulics is you should never have to adjust them. Residual pressure? Umm... Sorry. Nope. Won't happen on a properly adjusted master cylinder / clutch pedal relationship.

Why do you think hydraulic lifters work so well? Same principle.

I always adjust my pedal to that a sliver of the switch is showing when the pedal is all the way up after a release. This is also after I've pumped the pedal a couple times to make sure the lines are full.

I guess I'm really getting stuck on the terminology used. You aren't adjusting the clutch. And you aren't adjusting clutch movement. You are properly adjusting the master cylinder/clutch pedal relationship. But that really should have been done when you installed the master cylinder in the first place.
