It reminds me of when I first got my a couple of years ago, and thought I should calibrate my HP 8924c Service monitor. Turned out that 20+ year old instrument that hadn't been calibrated in years was off in frequency by just fractions of a Hz :-)

I was so surprised that the thing works so well... the reading?on my spectrum analyzer was 0dBm?+/- 0.05dBm and the 'scope 0dB?+/- 0.1dBm... it is improbable that the calibrator, spectrum analyzer and 'scope could all agree so precisely by chance alone... so it led to me regaining the impaired trust in these instruments, and thankfully having a method to check calibration in future too.?
