This seems to be the case of French English. You are misunderstanding the meaning, quoted below from FCOM:
FOR THE CM2:
The procedure is symmetrical. (Taxi on the left-hand side of the runway).
Here Symmetrical stands for "similar".

A320 S.E. Taxi -why?
Why.
Economy?
In a hurry, ok.
Other than in a hurry, why? Why taxi on one engine with all the hoo haa of messing about with one engine - apart from arriving with one engine less than you departed with - that, Shirley must be the only really pragmatic reason of incurring the extra workload of f**ting around on the ground on one engine - it taxis very nicely and efficiently on two engines, honest, ask anyone.

Nat -
Re your single engine taxy - why?
Option 1 - taxy out a long way (such as FRA, AMS) with both engines running in hot weather (such that the FADEC winds up the engines for bleed demand) a light load and arrive at the holding point with brakes too hot to take off.
Or
Taxy out single engine, arrive at holding point with 100kg extra fuel and cool brakes able to depart asap.
No brainer.

Why would you want to taxi and aircraft using a tug.? Did you mean a tow?
However, what a brilliant idea - all aircraft are to be taxied to line up using tugs. Saves on fuel - great fun for tug drivers you would need a lot of tugs at the airport.
Saving of fuel = 200,000 kg per day!!! And thats just at one fairly busy airport - imagine if you combine all the busy airports in the world - imagine the saving in fuel.
That's 72,800,000 kg per year! thats 20,000,000 Imperial Gallons a Year! A saving of £122,850,000 per year - wow is that cool or what?
I bet somebody pinches it and calls it theirs - baskits!
