tube tester question

From time to time testing tubes on various testers I run into the same issue and was told not to trust or use a tube when it happens.

As an ex. testing nos 3at2 high voltage rectifier tubes and the tester says good if above 40 and most test about 55. I will have one that pegs the needle at 100 but is not shorted or gassy.

Well over the years I see this every once in a while with different number/function tubes. What causes this and was the advice given to me accurate about not using that tube?
