I unfortunately have spent way to many hours in front of a hunter alignment rack. If you ignore the wings you're basically in a a car with a very high center of gravity, tri gear and tailwheel, toe-out will compensate for a slight tipping situation due to weight shift, whichever tire hits the ground first will act to roll the plane to level where the other tire touches, toe-in would do the opposite encouraging the high side to stay high. Training class said 1 degree of toe-in is equivalent to dragging a tire sideways 22feet every mile(as best I remember) most cars are set about 0.10 toe-in but these are for 60k mile tire life. Yes you can compensate roll with the controls but with toe-out it's built into the wheels. Even if you were dragging the wheel 22 feet per mile it's on the light corner.
