"A weight distribution hitch does not change tongue weight.", and
"This weight will vary depending on many factors but it will not be the exact same as it was when it was just sitting on the ball with no WD engaged."
Please tell me if I'm misreading this, but is seems that you now are disagreeing with yourself.

No I am not disagreeing with myself - you are misreading me. I am saying that the WD hitch does not change the tongue weight - it distributes it after engaged.
If it was 600#s before, it is still 600#s but not all 600#s is right at the tongue after engagement. You are saying all 600#s is still right at the tongue. I am also saying that the only thing that changes the 600#s is axle placement, loading on or in the TT itself, or the angle of the TT's horizontal line off the ground either up or down. Changing the angle changes the center of gravity. Change and distribute mean different things to me in this regard.
