On my old stuff (OE wood) the rounded edge touches. I believe most 'new' pre-cut wood doesn't. I recall Mar-k providing dimensions for those attempting to cut their own that gave a range of depth for the groove depending on how 'high' off the wood you wanted the strips.

Point being... I imagine it depends on the manufacturer, age, &/or personal likes.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
