True. Only built a few wheels, been a few years since my last one and the last several times, I think I used 3-4 different ones and took the most common value (I think that's the mode in math terms). Should have written down somewhere which one I used for my last wheelset because it came out just right (of course those spokes I came out to all being even or odd or whatever my source at the time was selling them as).
