No no no, you are exactly right! Somehow I didn't make myself clear. Loading in front of the axle, to produce the desired tongue weight and tongue weight percentage, is the important thing. By putting the axle further back, TM makes it easy to load properly, so that the loaded weight is properly distributed to the tongue. And Bruce's summary, that a lighter trailer can have a heavier percent tongue weight is right on target.

I guess I'm a little thick tonight. I apologize if it didn't come out that way.
