Mark has told me the same thing he told RinB, and in general pointed out that installing pillars in stocks that don't need 'em can cause more problems than they supposedly cure. He does it when installing stocks for customers who insist on pillars, but otherwise doesn't.

I've followed Mark's advice when installing several High Tech stocks on my rifles, and they've all shot very well without pillars.
