With copper, it's really surprising - many 10s of degree at normal operating temperatures. By comparison, the error from shiny bright aluminium heat sinks might only be a few degrees at a similar temperature.
Any half-decent heating engineer should have the gear to check against that curve - as do you - but time is money, so they'd just change the sensor (not their money, after all). Whereas we have the advantage of time and patience, plus a desire to only change components that have actually failed. Or to put it another way, be grateful that they included that curve - most manufacturers don't bother IME!
