I've done both ... not sure if the "quick way" is so much the wrong way?
a small gap all the way around the base plate don't look so bad.
I've experimented with an over sized rabbited block ...... so the floor can slip under.
Still not sure which I prefer.
current project is to have is to have a granite hearth with a floating floor ...
Plan is to shim up the granite and have enough room for the flooring to slip under by an inch or so.
