I have handled many well known and topical B747 operator and totally agree if you do it properly............... u won't ever tip one.
If in doubt tie the nose. Best I ever saw was a long oleo on a DC-8 73 bouncing but never more.
Loading the tail first is just waiting for a problem. An expensive one.
Do it right and you get out on time, in trim and everybody is happy.
Don't cut corners
