Skin-on-Frame: Balnce VS Anthropometric

I was laying out my kayaks last night using the method described in Cunningham’s book. After I had finished taking the measurements I checked them against the anthropometrics. I found that the backrest deck beam was 2 1/2" farther aft on mine and almost 3 1/2" aft on my wife’s. Is this a problem? Did I do something wrong?
