Ok I'll take a shot here and see if I'm following.

I normally keep my camera on Evaluative, well manily because the person I bought the camera from told me that's what they used 98% of the time. Evaluative mode basically evaluates the light coming in the lens from all angles and exposes for that.

If you were on center weighted metering, it would base your exposure on the center portion of the frame and expose the whole picture based on that.
So if I were to take a picture of a light bulb in a dark room in center weighted and I locked my exposure on the bright bulb the whole scene is going to be way overexposed? Am I on track here?

The reason I ask is because I tried a few pics (same scene) on different metering settings but they all exposed the same. I considered just putting it on evaluative and leaving well enough alone but I just can't. I have to know.
