well i dont exactly understand it all the way, but i do understand doing something 3 times a week like squats may seem easy on the first day but i know it can catch up to you. i figured as long as i dont let my pride doesnt get in the way i will be fine. and i am talkin about knowing i can throw up 5x5 at 365 or better on the bench but understand i cant do that after i squat.
Yeah, if you just underestimate a bit you'll be fine. It won't make a difference in the long run if it takes another week to reach your max and it certainly doesn't really matter what your "true" max ever was...just roundabout is fine.

Just like you pointed out what you can on bench after squats is different than what you can do fresh. In that way it really matters more what your maxes are when done in the actual routine environment rather than what they are in the best possible circumstance when your a fresh.

So the best solution is not to worry about all that and undershoot your starting weights a bit and you'll be fine.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
