My fault, that was quoting the Cessna empty weight (the generic empty in the POH) as opposed to the weight schedule weight, which is the one everyone is at odds with.
The whole thing is a concern for everyone really, if as DAR says weight schedules are in general not that good. Either that or we can all breath a sigh of relief that our a/c can operate well outside of the envelope.
