If that is your contention, you are wrong. The rear drop outs, when properly aligned, are the same distance from centerline of the bike. They have to be, for the bike to track and ride properly.
If that is not your assertion, then I've misunderstood your position.
I agree, and retract my statement. I should know this because I have built plenty of wheels and used a centering tool. I still think it's not a good idea to cold set a frame 5mm, but that is just my opinion, and clearly no one else here agrees with it.
