God? What god?
Yeah, ok, I think we pretty much agree. If my oil is IN the sight glass, at least 1/4 of the glass covered, I leave it alone. If someone is adding oil when it is at 1/2, or more, than sure, you can overfill.
That's what I mean about overthinking it. If you see oil, ride.
If you let it drain down and you are at the bottom of the sight glass, and not due for an oil change, then add some (I add 1/5 of a quart--I carry an old 1/5 QT STP fuel treatment bottle with me filled with oil). 1/5 quart will put you back in the safety zone.
Unless your bike is really using oil, that's about as complicated as the procedure needs to be.
I use the sidestand, too.
