In fact, at every step of the way, from single speed (perfect- no dishing), to 5 speed/120mm (dishing was introduced), to 6/7 speed/126mm (5.5mm of that added 6mm went to the freewheel side), dishing got worse. Then to 8 speed, then to 11 speed. At every step of the way, the dishing got worse than before, and the deal with Satan got extended more and more.
I had missed the rest of the nonsense in your post. Dishing and chainline haven't changed between 120, 126 and 130 10 speed. The added width was always added to both sides of the hub. It should be freaking obvious that the move from 5 to 6 didn't require 6mm on the drive side. It was 3. 130 got 2mm per side.
Did you get you info from Alex Jones?
