Wow! I am all for doing it right, but sometimes I wonder about the intolerances for reasonable tolerances in cycling.

Stan,

I just picked up my ruler to see how much 2 millimeters is, and I just have to ask, other than seeing a difference with a dishing gauge, how would this misalignment manifest itself during riding, or is it strictly to even the tension? Would it make a difference to you if it was 2 mm the other way versus this way?
