I hate to disagree without documentation, but I have talked to an engineer
at Cessna who says that the fact that the line ends at 400 pounds is not a
limitation. For seat strength, he referred me to a National Bureau of
Standards website which, after a number of side trips, ends up with a
request that the inquirer pony up some bucks to get the publications
involved.

"Yeah, its a limitation." He reasoned as he showed me the POH W&B graph.
The line to calculate moment stops at 400lbs.
I've never heard this before. Has anyone else? Otherwise, I've broken
the rules on nearly every flight with a passenger or student more than
140lbs


Yes, we had to live with this when I was instructing in the seventies. As
explained to me, the source limitation is the structural capacity of the
floor structure when subjected to max certificated g loading. But you are
right in that it is mentioned nowhere in the text of the limitations
section.
