Sorry but you are incorrect. You have misread or misunderstood the effect of canting a rife. Assuming the barrel's bore is centered in the barrel and that the scope is mounted parallel to the bore then the rifle being canted has no effect on the POI changing AS LONG as the scope is square to the target and the earth. The vertical and horizontal error is induced by the effect of canting the optic when shooting, which changes the relationship of the line of sight to the bores axis, not the cant to the gun itself. A level on a gun is helpful but it must be set to the point where the scope is square to the world not the gun itself. You could literally shoot a rifle that is held 45 degrees to vertical as long as the scope is square then the vertical and horizontal shift in the POI from adjusting the scope will be accurate. For that matter, you can even hold a gun, with a scope that is mounted level to the world with the gun in the true vertical position, at a ten degree cant and you will not see any change in POI as long as every shot is always at a ten degree cant.
