Nope, just seems like arguments on here imply that. I usually ride to the left most portion of the bike lane and would think this would be a more "VC" way of using a bike lane though as it would theoretically increase visiblity the closer you got to car traffic. It also means if you need to swing out of the bike lane for any reason that your movement will be less severe and will create less of a surprise factor to the motorists behind (and if they have been planning on giving you the 3-5 feet or more of passing clearance that they should they might not even have to swerve when they pass you).
