Could use some clarification.

I have read this on this site more than once but it seems so counterintuitive. If I move my bike seat back, away from the front of the bike, away from the handlebars, I will put more of my weight on my seat and less on my arms? Am I understanding this correctly as it seems it would be the other way around. Please do not feel that a long explanation is necessary just a simple "yes dummy, that is what you read" or "no that is not correct" is all that is needed. I feel very stupid asking this but I would really appreciate some clarity on my end.
Thanks in advance, Frank.
