Oil left on the cylinder above the top ring is burned away during combustion. All engines have to use some oil or they won't last. Many engines have short engine lift because the rings left them too dry on top. You are picking up products from the process of combustion and that is why oil level doesn't change much. That should be good for an argument or two.
I over filled a C-123 on a combine engine after doing engine repair once upon a time. The customer was upset and would not pay for that extra quart of oil on the repair ticket. I had to drain it down a bit and boss took the quart off the bill. The guy was real pain no matter what you worked on for him. Then, I moved out into the country just a mile from him for a couple years and he and all the picky neighbors got to be really easy to get along with. Funny how that works.
As far as over filling, it totally depends on the particular engine. Some use same oil pan for different applications and just change the dip stick and fill recommendations. The 400 series IH engines is a classic example of that. The D-414 in a 966 for example is about 13 quart and in the turbo charged 1066 it is 17. They got some dipsticks mixed up in production and caused a lot of confusion .

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Generators - by Chris Pratt. As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
