Well if they are so eager to be on the safe side because of "fuel quantity gauge error" and they add fuel to tanks because of it, why not be on the safe side regarding W&B and add "granny fuel" to loadsheet as well? Sounds like someone wants to be on the safe side regarding fuel, but is happy to fly overweight - so much for being on the safe side. And silly me, I thought idea was to put the actual fuel in tanks at break release into loadsheet...

It's probably the logic of the same people who think that if an aircraft can barely depart using improved climb (increased V2 procedure) with lowest flap setting that a higher flap setting will increase PLTOM, since "use of higher flap provides greater obstacle clearance"...
