Not to mention any number of aircraft that have been built with one wing longer than the other.

It's amazing what tiny changes can have huge aerodynamic effects. One Piper product was originally produced with flush riveted wings. It was found that replacing one line of rivets (D section to top skin) with button head rivets improved the stall characteristics immensely.
