Maneuvering speed - Va

What if I were to say that maneuvering speed (with regard to structural limitations of the airframe) remains constant with regard to weight changes? Consequently, the limit load factor actually increases with an decrease in weight!

I know that's not what they teach but it's correct and I think it's good for people to have a different perspective on Va.
