I thought that the bolt slides on the rails, but the rails DO NOT slide in the upper polymer slots. That is, there is no required movement of the rails in the polymer upper slots, other than for purposes of installation and removal.
I though the only purpose of the slots in the polymer was to locate and retain the bolt assembly. Getting a super-slick feeling when installing or remove the bolt assembly is moot. In fact, one could argue that a tight fit might be better for accuracy.
Am I confused?

No, you are not confused. As for the tight fit, that is certainly debatable, considering the is the fit of the bolt on the rails that has any effect upon accuracy - and even that is debatable.
What is being considered in polishing is the upper and lower surfaces of the rails, and well as the inside faces of the rails. Those are the surfaces that bear against the slots of the bolt body.
