That was so the CG would be within specs......
So, NA issued instructions to the pilot - isn't that exactly what Supermarine did in their Pilot's Notes?

And again I ask where is your evidence that Supermarine was not obligated to "correct" the Spitfire - what were they doing when they added bob-weights and later modified the elevator?
