I'm not disagreeing with you as that method does work nicely, but the steering rack input shaft does have a keyed tab on it which only allows the joint to be inserted in one position. Works great as long as you don't damage it somehow.
I use a bungee cord to hold the steering wheel in position during the job to keep it from making a rotation and causing a misalignment.
