That makes sense in a way, which is very cool... but what does that say about the whole plumb bob thing during fitting?

Very interesting...
I think the plumb bob is a little overrated. I would look for a more comfortable saddle to handlebar position first. I've had hand soreness/tingling too, so I am going to work on my fit. If I cannot get it myself, then its time to take it in to the shop for a pro fitting.
 
I think you might be going the wrong way. Try moving it forward, or turning your stem over if it is facing down. Look at the bike fit thread in this section (it has a poll), and look at the video link where a woman gets fit at a sports medicine place. You'll see what I mean.
