I once had a police officer try to convince me that putting bigger tires on my car would make the speedometer read low. I countered that the speedometer is fed but the left front wheel, and the rear tires were stock and the front undersized. ....and I knew the correction factor.
OTOH, I had a mechanic say 'that's fast what did you do to it.' I explained that it wasn't.
