Remember, if your indicator (line/leader connection) is going faster
or the same speed as the top current (watch to bubbles), then you do
not have enough weight on. Your indicator should be going slower than
the top level of water. Can't get down to the bottom? Add more
weight, move your indicator up, or remove it all together.

I don't get this.

I don't either.

My approach to dead-drift nymphing is to work the "turnover point."
That's the (usually short) section of the drift where the indicator is
directly above the fly, and where the drift has the least drag. Ideally,
the indicator, as well as the fly, will drift with no drag.

The idea is basically to decide where the fish are and then to cast
upstream, with the distance depending in the current, and to mend to
create a turnover point right in front of the fish.

Works for me.
