Where does it state that?  I don't see anything like that in
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-rests#rests>.
Instead it states

    Whole measure rests, centered in the middle of the measure, must be
    entered as multi-measure rests.  They can be used for a single
    measure as well as many measures and are discussed in *note Full
    measure rests::.

And the link given there explains how to enter such rests.

So where in the documentation does it state that rests are, by default,
_always_ centered horizontally (and if so, in what space are they
purportedly centered)?
