  The percentage of people among the general population who know the difference is about 2.5356%. I’ll allow it.

    2.5356%. clever. (But is that accurate?)

      Good point, should have the cluster size from #3, just offset.

        As I recall, the mathematical definition of accuracy does have some overlap with precision, so increasing precision improves accuracy as well. It’s just a little confusing.

  I agree!

  Accuracy and precision; when I used to shoot archery long ago; measure different things, accuracy is a measure of the spread of your shots, precision is a measure of how close to the middle your shots are.

    Depends on the meaning of “accurate” (e.g. an archer, a research paper, a copy…).

    Impeccable; flawless; dead-on; faithful – if I had to choose one, I’d pick “impeccable”
