If it's resized, say 800 pixels wide, wouldn't a centered layout look the same as a left layout? Therefore, this is irrelevant to what we are talking about.
Also, please try and imagine how centered and left layouts look for the majority of users, not you. 1024 pixels. Especially considering most users just surf.

Why different for me than for them? With all the space on one side or
the other, they, like I, have room without obscuring the page for some
useful size window in a single whitespace that they don't have in two
half size whitespaces, like a calculator, or a (gasp) popup window.

I don't actually surf fullscreen, and my browser window is normally off
center (to the right). A flush left page will be far closer to center
screen for me than any centered page.
