I am not sure what your point is. That's exactly what I said.
Spell "misses" are not called "misses", they're called "resists", even when it is the mechanic Spell Hit affects. Spell Penetration affects increased resistance. I specifically said that misses can be eliminated.
Regardless, prior to 2.3.0, you could not achieve 100% hit on raid bosses due to the dodge mechanic. As Gnollguy said, this is probably the reason why spells had a minimum 1% resist chance (and it is probably also why spells had a base miss chance of 17% on bosses).
