Anything is possible. It was a Park Tool DS-1 scale and probably more accurate than any scale that I have access to. I did consider and cannot rule out the possibility that the mechanic forgot to zero the scale.
I do have a photo of the weight readout so I am certain that I am not mistaken about the scale weight.
Judging from the comments I’m getting, being .95 pounds over the claimed weight is unusual?
