Default Idle mix affects entire Holley power band?

Is there any impact, even small, on the A/F mixture over the power band with regard to the idle screw mix setting on your "typical" Holley?

It might help you to understand that whenever you are in a high manifold vacuum situation, you're pulling fuel through the idle circuit.

Default Idle

Thanks.

Appreciate the info. That's what I thought I'd noted in other discussions, but just wanted to be sure.
