Nope. Agreeing with you. And waiting for someone to point out to me that the FAA had “solved” the ice problem by saying you could still fly into icing at a 500# reduced gross weight whereupon I was going to say that’s not much of a help when you unexpectedly ENCOUNTER icing after you are already loaded, though I suppose jettisoning the totally unneeded SIC might get you one-third of the way there....
