LOL, indeed! Shimano SP brakes have a small notch on the brake arm closest to the fork crown so you can center it before tightening the brake mounting bolt. Looking at the Tektro brakes on one of my bikes, it has no such mark - so you have to clamp the brake arms together to get them as close as possible to even before tightening. That adjustment set screw is just there for minor tweaks in the final adjustments. Sounds like the brakes on that bike were mounted and tightened way too unevenly before any set screw adjustment was done.
