Recieved an answer, just as expected.. 700gr over 23KG is a bigger problem then having an allowance of 92KG in total..

quote, response from customer service:

I am sorry to learn that the service you experienced from our staff at check in for flight KL895 from Amsterdam to Shanghai on 21 July failed to meet your expectations. A sincere apology is offered for any discourtesy which you felt you encountered.
Naturally you expect KLM staff to be polite, helpful and attentive at all times and to provide the very best service possible. We apologize if this was not your own personal experience.
Although I regret your disappointment, I would like to take this opportunity to explain that by requesting for the excess weight from the check-in baggage to be moved to an alternative bag our colleague adhered to our policies and procedures. I understand from your account that you are aware of this, and that you specifically asked for my answer not to contain a reference to small print, and I realize that this may be exactly what you did not wish me to write. However, I hope that you will understand that, in fairness to all our customers, our check in staff have been instructed to follow the baggage rules equally for all our passengers, Flying Blue members, non-members, and Elite members alike. Thanks to your Elite status you would indeed have been allowed to check in up to 92kg, provided that each individual piece did not weigh over 23kg each.
I very much appreciate you taking the time to contact us regarding this matter. I regret your dissatisfaction in this case
I trust that I have given your concerns my full attention. Should you have any further questions please contact me on (Removed), Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 4pm.
We look forward to welcoming you onboard one of our future flights!
Yours sincerely,
PASSENGER BUSINESS
