Gram weighing of parts

Forever, I've been gram weighing all new parts and marking therein. Repinning where necessary and installing the greatest friction parts to the bass end and graduating to the lowest, (within specs.<G>), in the treble. The last grand action I did, I decided to put the lowest in the bass and graduate to the highest in the treble. The action felt/played just fine. !!?? My thinking, (if you could call it that.<G>), was that in order to get the hammer moving, in the bass, less "action friction" would get the big uns moving faster, thus off-setting the size of the hammers. In terms of UW/DW, I found that the action was more consistant from bottom to top. Hmmm?
Have I stumbled onto something here, or is it "olde-timer's disease" kicking in?!! OR, am I just messed up in my rationale?
Would like to know your thinking on this.
