That would make sense, except it doesn't. Did they move the weight to the back (for W&B)? Doubt it. Kind of like babies that weigh nothing, and pink-tagged bags that suddenly float in mid-air if you take them out of the cargo bin and put them in an overhead bin. And let's not even get into average pax weights.
But I get it - logic has no place in the decision making process.
