Most Cg / weight distributions combinations on the road can easily get to 0.3g without locking the rears. Prove me wrong.



What did I correct?
Well I guess I have to spell it out for you again. Whether you have 70%, 80, 90 or 95% front brake bias, adding weight to the rear won't "make the rears work any harder", It just doesn't matter where the weight is added for normal low level braking (as in the city driving case where I notice the grossly mis-balanced temps).

Any clearer? Your pull the parking brake analogy is senseless. Big braking well over 0.3 G, unload the rears and locks them, as expected. What is the point?

Did I ever say weight transfer doesn't happen? NO

I think the point is that you can have the brake bias set too much to the fronts, and overheat the fronts (as compared the rears) in city stop/go, even is the bias is OK for panic stops.

Where the weight is under that (<0.3g) situation is totally a non-issue, contrary to TCE and RARA's gospel.
