Rich, can you hear the performance difference during movies or music?
Edit: answered above. Guess I’ll be able to answer that when I install a theater system in one of my bathrooms, hallways, or kitchen … I’ll be sure to give you feedback when that happens

I am going with 5.1.2, so the 2 atmos speaker would be very close to MLP with 10 degree angle. It should be OK with the flush mount without angling it to aim to MLP. Am I right? Sure but you might loose imaging being that close …I think the ATMOS spec has the tops like 30 to 55 deg left/right from MLP … see ATMOS speaker placement guidelines

What is tops point straight down? tweeter points down … basically Dolby specs that Top surrounds are not aimed … that said I think every room is different and you should experiment and do what sounds best …. spec’s were written to be broken (I.e. they are guidelines)

Rich, he means 10 degrees as you look up at IC installation. The line of sight is r and the angle is 90-theta in polar coordinates.

I think Rich means you'd hang them upside-down rather than flat on the ceiling. Think we should ignore the madman in the room …

I never kid about polar coordinates. He's talking about mounting IC and whether they are diffuse enough at a 10 degree angle such angle subtended by a normal sticking out of the listener's head and the hypotenuse sticking out of the forehead to the speaker. The angle 3 minus 2: https://www.soundandvision.com/content/can-i-repurpose-back-surround-speakers-dolby-atmos
