>> But as a mech eng I would expect better accuracy <<

As a mechanical engineer I imagine you know that the accuracy/tolerance needed to have both the tenon and socket meet at both inside and outside is zero. In this context, it doesn't exist. The best realistic tolerance is much more, especially considering they are two wood parts.

So the only real choice is to have that gap either on the inside or the outside. There are advantages and disadvantages but they are all pretty minor, possibly insignificant.
