... counting clicks in from fully soft will make life very confusing.

Impossible is perhaps more descriptive.  Why?  Because there are way more clicks available than actually make a difference to the damping.  Once the damping needle is sufficiently clear of the orifice it controls, you can wind it further and further out without changing anything. 

By always adjusting damping as turns out from max, you can be certain of starting from the same baseline every time you make a change.
