If your guitar has no binding on the back then this method may be worth it. I seem to remember Frank Ford's article pointing out that the back had to be recut for the binding and splitting also was a problem. The method of steaming off the neck and recutting the joint was seen to be easier all round. Of course Taylor's bolt on neck and shim methods trumps all others. Another option (useful if epoxy was used) is to saw the neck off, adjust the heel and bolt it back on. Not for the timid I suspect.
