I was thinking about it the wrong way and that he wanted to measure the bolts to ensure they stretched the correct amount.

Yes, that is the point of the tool. But you're not wrong in your thinking of its use during rod bolt installation. It's just not applicable in this particular engine due to the rod design. Generally speaking, torquing to a bolt stretch spec is the best way to ensure proper and consistent tightness across every fastener.
