When setting timing, does retarding the timing to 12 degrees mean the same as setting to 12 degrees BTDC?

It would be a matter of what is being said? does he mean 12 degrees back from the factory timing specs? example, if factory specs call for 8 degrees advanced, that would mean you need to go back 12 degrees from there.. meaning 4 BTDC..
or does it mean 12 degrees retarded from TDC? need more info on what is being said or implied.

If you just talking TDC as a starting point.. yes you are correct.
