Did you look at the results? I had that experience with one lens (200-400) that resulted in a very flat curve, i.e. going from -10 to +10 made very little difference. And indeed on the images it was very little difference. This flat curve means that, statistically, the results are a bit chaotic as small variations in each test run cause the peak (of a near flat line) to vary widely.

Other lenses had a very sharp peak, a clear maximum where +/- 5 made huge differences in focus.

I found I learned a lot by these curves, more so than the actual adjustment it called out.

Your experience may be quite different however, just offering one result.
