Default Flux battery Minimum Amp question

Like everyone after puffing out a battery, learning what actually means what and does what seems so much more important.

I read that the minimum amp for Flux's should be 120-125amp. But I see everyone on here including myself using hobbyking Turnigys rated 5200mah 2S 20C.... now the math on that is:

5200 x 20c / 1000 = 104amp

So at least 16-21amp below the minimum recommended.

So is it unsafe to use these batteries then? Is that "close" enough? Or....? I never see high mAh capacity Turnigys with 25C or greater sold on Hobbyking... 20C seems to be the norm.

Explanation?
