How do tolerance gauges work?

I have tried more than one of the print files for the tolerance gauges and don't quite understand how they are supposed to work.  I recently printed this one using PETG at three different qualities, .05 UltraFine, .15 Quality and .20 Quality, all with 15% infill.  Each sample releases in the .30 and .25 setting and with persuasion the .20 and .15 settings. The .1 setting released with a strong twist when printed with .15 Quality.  

a. is this the way they are supposed to work?

b. how do I apply this new found knowledge when I make something that has a hinge point or needs a precision hole?
