If the cables are set with no slop at neutral then as the controls are moved the pull side moves slightly more than the other, the "non-pull" cable goes slightly slack, therefore ensuring that there is no undue force on the servo bearing. I’ve used this principle on all my models with no problems; it may not be acceptable to the out and out aerobatic pilots as it is in effect introducing very slight slop into the system, but for all others it certainly is the way to do it.
