Thats pretty much the case with any measuring instrument. The best you can hope for is plus or minus the tolerance or its smallest reading.
For levelling a lathe you need something like the one at the top, the lower one is sensitive but doesn't have the accuracy noted on it.

When I use that one I never rotate it, level doesn't matter it twist your looking to remove. Error in the level doesn't matter then, just sensitivity.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
