Description:

The instruction to use "chmod og-rwx" could leave the file with read
permission set.  Elsewhere the suggestion is "chmod 600".

Not sure what you mean here -- how could it leave it with read permission set?

(Obviously it could for the owner, but 0600 also includes read permissions for the owner)

That said, it might be a good idea to be consistent since we seem to use a mix of different styles of chmod.
