You miss the point of the discussion, my friend.
The computer analysis runs the same way as the paper trimsheet if we are dealing with LMCs (ie no data re-entry). The LMC quantum is entirely arbitrary and there is no validity in comparing this aircraft/operator with another ... other than in the vein of "my LMC is bigger than yours .."
If you choose to view the matter differently, then that is fine .. but it doesn't make your view any less incorrect from a technical engineering perspective ...
