I guess I don't understand what you are recommending. Sounds to me like you are saying "remve stock materal so the barrel is free floated then turn around and un-free float it with wax paper.

That is exactly what he is saying. You are creating a single "pressure point". Removing the material from the rest of the stock removes the variable pressure points that can be created and/or removed as the barrel heats up or as humidity changes the wood within the stock. By having a single pressure point, it dampens the barrel vibrations without changing as temperature/conditions change. It doesn't always work. That is why you use a piece of paper so that you can try moving it or remove it entirely. If you are able to find a sweet spot with the piece of paper, replace it with a drop of silicone.
