I understand what you're saying, but 1mph over is 1mph over. It's called a "speed limit".
Most of us would reasonably expect to be forgiven based on an margin of error between speedometer calibration and radar gun calibration, but we can't assume that.
The interesting piece about that is most stock speedometers are actually calibrated in favor of reporting a slightly higher speed than the vehicle is actually traveling. It's not by much, but on some cars I've seen 1-2 mph at a given speed for an analog odometer.
