Please don't toppost - I easily get confused.

The thing is that most tabular versions produce a single box just like if  
you had constructed a minipage or \parbox. Hence they are subject to  
normal text flow rules like paragraph indentation. To suppress paragraph  
indentation you insert \noindent right before the object without any blank  
lines between them.

The most common situation however is that you have something like
   \begin{table}
   \centering
   \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{XX}
   ....
   \end{tabularx}
   \caption{...}\label{...}
   \end{table}

\centering also sets the paragraph indentation to zero so you never notice  
it there.
