I think we just might be having a communications issue here.
I believe John is saying I could start my 6' at this door jamb, measure along the baseboard, turn the corner and place an outlet on this wall still within 6' of the door along the baseboard.
If that is what he means I agree that is OK.
That said personally I like the idea of an easily accessible outlet for general purpose use.
One that is not behind the sofa or entertainment center.
