It seems to me that there are pilots out there that don't realize that what is important is where the main gear is in relation to the runway center line rather than the cockpit/nose gear in strong cross winds.

You can see this in a lot of the videos showing strong wind landings. The main gear is somewhere between the center line and the edge of the runway while the cockpit/nose gear is perfectly lined up with the center line.
