IKR?
A lot of people, even some mechanics, would eyeball it. But Velo Vol broke out the level to make sure it wasn't an optical illusion.

22 degrees this morning. Got all suited up and the wife came down to suggest I go when it’s warmer. Looks like it will be a tropical 45 when I go instead.

Nothing about @Velo Vol is on the level.

You ever wonder how they rolled out the asphalt on the 36° banking at Talladega?
Chain your asphalt roller to a bulldozer running along the top!

In my case, I just made sure that all 4 bikes - which have the same long-discontinued model of saddle - have the bubble in the same place when the level is placed the same. Works for me! Not sure what I'm gonna do about the Cannondale, since it's got an earlier version of the same saddle without a recess......

Too bad that there's nothing to be done about that.

One way to tell. My take on it is that if you don't feel like you have to keep skooching back, or like you're really reaching out for the bars, it's correctly set, whether the bubble is exactly centered or not. Plus, so many saddles are not flat across the back, and/or have a dip/recess in the middle, where do you place the level?
