Weight distribution
I heard, probably from posts in this forum, that the "correct" way to ride is to have your legs supporting most of your weight when pedalling. Now, how could you possibly ride for hours with your legs supporting most your weight 
. Wouldn't it be more logical to put most of your weight on the saddle?

You misunderstood what you read. Yes, most of your weight is supported by your butt.

There are certain situations where that does apply. But for the most part sitting works really well

Yo
You maybe have been listening to the scuzzy downhillers around here, they never sit down. For XC stay on your saddle most of the time...
