Angle on Wusthof knives?

I just got a set of Wusthof knives for the kitchen.
Interesting thing is, they seem to recommend 20/22 degree angle, but the knives seem to be actually sharpened at 15 degrees. (either that, or I got the angles on my DMT Aligner wrong... which I didn't think I did)

Feedback?
 
I have sharpened my in laws Wustofs and they were around 20 per side. I thinned them down slightly to 17 per side to add a tiny bit of cutting ability while making it easier for myself to touch up the blades at 20 per side the next time I sharpen them.
