VR, on or off

I can verify that VR does make a diferece with my stock Nikon 18-55.
I was doing some HDR (3 exposures) on a tripod and left VR on, my first exposure was framed fine and the next two frames had the tops clipped.
This happened with every shot that day.
This was very noticeable when trying to align the images.

Well I guess this just about clears it up.
From the manual for the Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 ED VR:
"Normal and active VR can reduce the blur when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Off, however, may produce better results depending on the type of tripod and on shooting conditions."

Saw a recent article where a camera with long lens was mounted on a sturdy tripod and they took two shots, one with VR on and one with VR off. The one with VR on was noticeably softer at 1:1. The comment was that VR anticipates motion and will cause motion when there is none.
My Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 G2 (my birding lens) has 3 VR modes: 1 continuously stabilizes when the shutter is 1/2 pressed; 2 is for panning, 3 aggressively stabilizes when the shutter is tripped.

With Canon it use to matter & that may also have applied to Nikon - BUT - With the newer IS/VR it longer does
That is incorrect!
