I started reading thi last night and decided to finish it thismorning. I have ac ouple of clarifications that I wanted to mention.
When the quote " He knows and writes about "internet" accuracy." I think he was talking about the accuracy of information on the internet.
And the precision vs accuracy debate...
They are both important. If you have a very accurate rifle, but not a precise one, you will likely have little success without luck.
Likewise if you have a precise rifle and its not accurate, you will get the same result.
Definition of precise
1 : exactly or sharply defined or stated
2 : minutely exact
3 : strictly conforming to a pattern, standard, or convention
4 : distinguished from every other
Definition of accurate
1 : free from error especially as the result of care an accurate diagnosis
2 : conforming exactly to truth or to a standard : exact providing accurate colour
3 : able to give an accurate result an accurate gauge
4 : going to, reaching, or hitting the intended target : not missing the target an accurate shot/kick The next play, Johnson fielded a sharp grounder and made an accurate throw to first.— Joe Smith
5 : tending to hit the intended target an accurate free-throw shooter
Reading these I would be inclined to sat that
-Precision is addressing all the variables that can affect the outcome of the shot - load, quality / reliability, consistency etc
and
-Accuracy is the RESULT of the precision where the bullet goes where it is intended to.....
