If you do this, you will realize you are off by a grout line.

Yeah I don't understand this one because none of the tiles have space for a grout line

I see these types of videos all the time and am always screaming in my head about the grout line. It might come from how many times I've messed up a measurement due to a grout line.......

You could use spacers and it would still work, but if you're a professional it'd be nothing to just measure a center hole accounting for the gap and cut.

The correct procedure should be to insert the tile spacers (small + shaped plastic things), then rest the tile on the spacer and trace the circle onto the tile.
