The thing is this, where do you draw the line? The weight scale HAS been raised and very rarely will a non bug rider be asked to do less than 115.
I understand what you are saying, I would fall in the middle of that though....If you used that rationale all the way back you would have Calista Flockhart riding at 80 pounds so it's not so cut and dry.
