Line skis - what does the "stance back from center" measurement mean?

On the Line website, all of their skis have a mesaurement called "stance back from center." For example, on the Blend ski in a size 179, the "stance back from center" is listed at 85mm. Does this mean that, when the bindings are mounted in the recommended position, the midsole of the boot sits 85mm back from the core center of the ski?
If this is the case, would it be ok to have the bindings mounted 10 or 15mm forward of the recommended mounting point in order to have slightly more tail on the ski for riding switch?

thats the "recomended" point, althought every park skier puts their binding further up on the ski? even thought its recommended, it doesnt mean you have to mount there. if your skiing park, mount more forward. are you goignt o be skiing a lot of park?

so a true centermount would be +8.5 from recommended?
just asking, cuz a lot of shop guys around look at you like you're smoking crack when you start saying stuff like "center mount" and if you're not sure exactly what you want, you can gaurantee that they have no idea what you're talking about.

yes
and you've kinda gotta wonder about a shop guy who doesn't know how to centermount...we've probably been doing it for at least 10 years now.

But that doesn't necessarily make it the recommended binding mounting point... does it? I'm confused.
