In my opinion correct technique on a SLR would be manually focussing or using a focus point in the right place.
Focus and recompose has it's uses but using a 50mm at wide apertures on DSLR isn't one of them.

You're right in principle
If the change is small enough, the difference isn't that great and is generally not noticeable.
Just to clarify:
The reason I suggested using the centre focus point is that it's what I'm used to. There is no reason whatsoever that you couldn't compose your shot how you wanted in the first place and use one of the other AF points to focus the shot! I just use the centre AF point out of habit!
