Yep. And then the speed window opens and that assigned "cross at 250" becomes "well, I'm doin' 274 now and I'm sticking with it."

That thing's been missing restrictions by 300-350 feet since 1981. It's a honey badger when it comes to restrictions. And ATC don't care.

That's why I don't sweat a few hundred feet here or there.
