I've learned to look askance at those 95% hit chances, and say 'yeah, sure' to myself.

The reason for that is the top to hit % is a raw estimate of your chances BEFORE any of the dozens of variables that could affect your getting an actual hit are calculated and that is why what is diplayed on top differes so much from what the ACTUAL result is displayed at the bottom of the screen so yes, it can be wildly optimistic but that's the reason why.
I belive this is explained in the game guide but if it is not I will ensure I find a way to enter it before the next patch
