That's how a calibrated glass hydrometer works. With a couple of known solutions measure the standard deviation and then apply that deviation to the observed reading.

So once you know your hydrometer consistently reads +.03, add that to the observed result for an accurate measurement.

Of course by measuring anything you are changing it so you can never have a "TRUE" 100% no questions asked result.
