Accuracy and Precision eh?
Another can of worms, I would suspect...




Back in the days when I was involved in chemical analysis, Accuracy related to how close to "correct" an individual result was. Precision was a measure of how close you got to the same result if you repeated the same test a number of times.
Quack!
