That is my point, too!
Lee, I concur with everything you said, specially that “ real world” conditions are far from ideal regarding equal load distribution on bearings.
Let me just correct one detail: inner and outer races (cup) in our hubs are the same (3920), bearings (cone) are not. Inner brg. is a 3994, outer is 392. The Timken catalog shows a basic load capacity, dynamic, of 119 000 N for the 3994 and 89 500 N for the 392. In other words the inner bearing is about 30% stronger, good to absorb additional axial force and leverage while cornering!
