In edgeR, how am I supposed to be gauging the results of the BCV Plots, the values of common dispersion, tagwise disperson, ect.

This has been bothering me AND I have seen conflicting information. When it comes to edgeR, how am I supposed to be analyzing the BCV plot to measure up my experimental design? Is it matter of what my BCV hovers around (according to the edgeR vignette, well-controlled human data have BCVs around .2-.4. ) Am I looking to the shape of the distribution along the trend line? What exactly is this telling me, and how is this helpful in improving my design? Appreciate the help.

What conflicting information? Please give links to what you have read. Hint: if the conflict is between the edgeR documentation and a random page on the internet, then you can guess which one is correct.
