You are quite right in suggesting that the best place to start from is a well set up kart, and that having the weights drastically wrong is merely one more thing to counteract.
However, as various people have pointed out, the variable factors (things that change on a race by race basis) far outweigh a correction for a couple of kg laterally. (assuming you are only talking about a couple of kg).
Also think about how bending the seat bars is going to affect 'weight'. It can only be by bending the seat, which means that you are introducing a new error.
We've had lots of threads on whether or how seat bars work. There doesn't appear to be a consistent theory, but some people go measurably faster with seat bars in some circumstances.
We also have lots of discussions about definitions and their application. So we get someone like Ian using stagger in a general way to indicate biasing a car by various means and others who insist that stagger can only be used to indicate bias by altering tyre size. Some will insist that loose definition is a sin.
