Being 1 miles off track makes dick all difference inside radar.
Really, given that some routes are based on minimum lateral tolerances from either other routes, active restricted areas or a different controllers airspace then 1 mile could make all the difference. Remember that ATC can display relevant routes in their airspace and if you haven't been cleared direct then ATC would expect to see you on the airways and on the line.
