I dont know if there is anything else to this story, but that is not totally true. The exact wording of the fuel policy accounts for situations like the one you described. The fuel policy states "Full fuel tanks are required for each flight unless prevented by operational necessity." Planes leave all the time without full tanks. We have a couple of big guys and two big DPE's, and we have never not been able to get in CG by limiting fuel.
