Nope, you're wrong. Ain't gonna work. You might be able to cheat on a little too long but you're going to run out of threads before you can bring the wheel up to tension.
There's also this: Factory wheels are so cheap that the only reason for building your own is that you want the satisfaction of building the best wheel that you can. Starting with spokes that are the wrong size doesn't do it for me.
