In other words, you don't actually know if you measured 3 miles correctly or
not, so there's really no basis for claiming that you did so.


Of course I do; the tower is the final arbiter of whether or not I was
in the right place, and the real tower with the real controller was
satisfied.

Real controllers in real towers are not shy about telling pilots they
are in the wrong place.
