Okay I thought about this some more and I'm almost positive that thinning the outer edge of the disc will actually increase wobble and vibrations due to the decrease in inertia. Try balancing a pool cue with the large end on top and then with the small end on top. With the large end on top, it is much easier due to the larger inertia.
So in summary, we have yet to find any scientific basis for the merits of this "tweak". The only way this would make sense is if there are some parts of the disc that are significantly thicker than others. I find this very doubtful as the difference would have to be significant to cause vibrations, and such differences would be easily observable. Not only that, but I doubt the factory would produce a CD so inconsistent .
