Agreed.
As R8893 mentioned and taking into consideration that bellcrank position is not critical, note that in this case, the bellcrank pivot point is actually forward of the CG on Jim Mayfield's Charger shown above probably because moving it any further aft means it would not have room to remain within the confines of the wing profile. Only the single point leadout is aft of the CG.
Figured out and answered my own question/confusion of post #5 here.
