In fact, you could expand that to "conventional wisdom is 10-15% is the range you really want to be in."

That's all well and good, but when your hitch is rated for 750 pounds total and 60 pounds of tongue weight, you have a problem as soon as your trailer ends up at 650 pounds. Maybe the answer here is "don't do that." Perhaps they should have just rated it 60/600 if you can't go over 60, I don't know.
