While it's true that the gauge can be misleading, the dipstick is even more so. If the engine is cold, what you read at the stick, is a good measure. If it's hot, it's no more accurate than making a guess. Also, the stick does not measure what is or is not in the oil filter. Yes, the stick is a safer bet but, it's still a bet.
