I'm not the one using inflammatory language, but it still doesn't make sense to me. Someone trying to maximize chainline efficiency like that would be very concerned about drivetrain efficiency above other factors. But the 11t cog is already a very inefficient cog. The losses of using an 11t cog vs. a 12t greatly exceed gains of moving the chainline one slot over. So moving the 11t cog to a location where it might be used more could result in a net loss of efficiency.

As rruff said, pick your ring size so that the cogs in the middle of your cassette are the ones you use more often. If you find yourself spending much time at all in a 11t or 10t cog, your rings are too small. Those are both special-purpose cogs.
