Genuine question: Where is the belief that if you take a car with a 50/50 weight bias and do nothing but remove rear weight that this is somehow a negative?

AFAIK, a car with a 52/48 weight bias that is 50 pounds lighter in the rear than a 50/50 weight bias that's 50 pounds heavier....the lighter car is still the superior performer in all respects.
