If we are considering rotational dynamics in the absence of the influence of aerodynamic loads then indeed I am.

Due to the relative magnitudes of the vectors, the net result is trivially different from the disk's being horizontal - a fraction of a degree - but, in the context of the original question, it is both relevant and important.
