The 45lb Yorks I have from the 80's - 90's range 1/2lb - 1 1/2lbs off, with most being right in the middle. The older deep dishes and older style #100's can be off by a good amount. The #100's especially. I understand that they didn't have a machine that could handle the #100's for mill work, so you can see #5 - #10 swings sometimes.
Maybe true, however muscles do not know how to weigh or measure only resistance so it's ok.

I was thinking more of record meets, for instance, two big powerlifting totals I remember being effected by mis-weighs were Don Reinhoudt's #2420 total, which really was #2391 when they weighed the plates. Also Ernie Hackett whose #2200 + total at #275 really should be almost #40 pounds higher because the #100 plates were so over weight.
