Sounds like a method for those who start their drawing with the eyes, not a practice which I would ascribe to. Of course, painting is different, as it may or may not include drawing or any layout order. I have never used this particular consideration, but then, who am I? I have seen many famous portraits which do not fit this pattern. It seems to me the the overall layout of the form which is included in the portrait is the primary consideration, not whether one of the eyes in centered or not. No offense, but it seems to me to be another weird psycho-bable rule which I would file right there with all the other right-brain stuff.
