The point is, that nobody has ever bought one which was "correctly"
rated, because there is no correct rating.
More total nonsense.

So you keep saying.

The AFTM rating for a #6 weight line states that the first thirty feet
of line, ( excluding the level tip if present) must weigh 160 grains
+/- 8 grains tolerance

Could you tell me how you would rate a #6 weight rod?

Me ? I'd just look at what the manufacturer wrote on it.
If it said 6wt, I'd rate it a 6wt.

There is no conspiracy afoot to fool the consumer and
one doesn't need a slide rule or a set of shooting heads
to determine which fly line to put on a fly rod. In the
vast majority of cases the manufacturer has correctly
determined the properly matching fly line, 100% of the
time in my experience.
