What do you say to that ridiculousness? Just to add to the fun, our speeds at that time were Vref+5. Two days after this, our speeds were changed to subtract the extra five knots. That would have left me 3 knots fast.
Point is, don't be a fool and argue over an occasional one or two knot gain/loss...none of us are that good.
Can you even read a knot or two on your instruments? My airspeed is displayed digitally and it fluctuates 1 or 2 kts (some times more!) even with auto throttles engaged, much less if I am ham fisting the throttles
