I think that picture is illustrative only.
Do no use those values as any steadfast rule.

The bottom line is line of sight changes depending on your latitude location.
So a value of 15 might be fine for someone, but not for someone else.

Use the stationary sat calculator and figure out your most east and west sats based on your view of the arc at your location.

A couple feet might help, but you really need to use a straightedge and a protractor and just use your eye to visualize obstructions...
Look at the graphic. Moving the dish out to the edge of the property did work for that setting.
But you'd need to mount it on a pole at the height of the gutter to compensate height-wise.
