True, but some people can't go with more TV or less TT. I'm one of those; It's a long story why. I think we'll be alright, as we're not actually over any ratings, and I've included safety buffers to boot.
Unfortunately, your attitude is not unusual and while you can attempt to rationalize the numbers to fit your desires they don't change the facts and you don't know what safety factor there might be in the various numbers. As I stated the receiver rating is to be compared to the actual tongue wt. before any "redistribution" from things like a WDH are activated. By dead tongue wt. I mean that which you would see from putting the tongue on something like a Sherline tongue wt. scale. Now days you might be very surprised just how little safety factor there are in the design of things and if you are counting on that unknown number then IMO you are already too close and are in the typical too little TV or to much TT category.
