Default 3/2 wave dipole

Probably my first HF antenna as a novice was a 40/15 meter dipole
where 40 meters was 1/2 wave and 15 was 3/2 wave. I have never had a
problem dropping SWR on 15 meters to 1:1.1 with this antenna center
fed. However, as I understand antenna radiation on a wire, the
optimum point should be somewhere else along the wire to match the
impedance properly. I suspect it should be close to 1/3 of the way
from one end.

Any thoughts about this?
