Bridge Centering?

Here's a question for Del, Ron N or Ron O: Should the area of contact, on
the bridge, ideally be centered on the Bridge? Or, does it make one wit of
difference to have this area favor the front, center or back of the bridge?
I've been more conscious of the "mis-alignment" of individual notes, (front
to back), in "top-end" pianos, of late. It appears to me that the bridges
could/should have been shaped more efficiently, to accomodate the "supposed"
scale, in relation to it's physical contact, in order to cause a more even
"downward pressure" on the bridge surface.
