On what basis do you deduce that? A pitch attitude has everything to do with how the a/c is flown, ie control positions. It has little to do with C of G position. C of G position will affect what control position (and force) is required to achieve any particular attitude, and if too extreme, it risks the aircraft running out of control range to achieve all required flight attitudes - hence the limits imposed upon C of G.

As it is not possible to diagnose G of G position from a seeing the pitch attitude of an aircraft, as you have tried to, best wait for that report as you mention.
