Here's how I did my alignment:

"Hrmm... the car is a bit darty, probably too much toe-out, I'll just put a half turn of toe-in at each tie-rod end."

"Okay, that was probably too much toe-in... I'll just add some negative camber because I'm too lazy to do the toe again."

"Let's check tire temps... wow, they're even across the tire, and the handling feels pretty neutral-to-understeer. Alignment's done!"
