Azstar, in a tiny proportion of cases, the scenarios you outline could true..but in the vast majority of cases the overweight baggage charge, even for small overages, is an attempt by the airline to capture and maximize their ancilliary revenue. Overweight baggage charges are a rip off, plain and simple, but the OP was foolish to give them the opportunity to rip them off. The airlines will always rob you if you let them... and you did.
