I would be interested to see where you saw this. As far as I know, side-to-side play with the wheel is typically a sign of bearing failure, not proper installation. I know that tightening the castle nut too tight can put excess pressure on the bearings, and cause premature failure. But even with the nut finger tight and the bearings properly seated, I have never had any perceived side-to-side play. And I have never had any bearings fail (knock on wood).
