These cams are gear driven and the gear is not locked onto the end of the cam with a locator pin like the older models. So if you loosen the bolt, you can rotate the cam to anywhere you want it and tighten it in that position again.
Quite frankly, and I'll skip the "my dear" bit lol, I don't believe that!
If no pin or key is used then it will be a taper fit - which, by simply loosening the bolt, will still stick like hell, hence will require a press of sharp rap or the like to get loose.
Show me a pic if I'm wrong, I am more than prepared to eat humblepie... but like you say a simple bolt will
not hold any camshaft timing!
Waiting with baited breath....
