IF I am reading that statement correctly, I'm not in agreement. I'm thinking the toe/tire contact point will move forward exactly 16mm as well.

If the offset moves 16mm forward, the axle moves 16mm forward. If the axle moves 16mm forward, every bit of the front wheel moves 16mm along with it. I'm not an engineer or mathematician, but I' pretty sure on this one. Mostly, maybe, kinda, sorta.
