And the results were???? If it were simply a location issue, it seems that you could have equalize them quickly by swapping positions.
When you moved a bee-heavy end colony to the center, did it immediately lose bees?
Seems to me there is a validity to both sides, obviously when a queen is missing the drift will be huge, but to Peats point sometimes its no more than lost bees and the excited swarm pheromones being the attractant.
