Is this a discussion on precision vs. Accuracy? In human aiming trials (archery, shooting, darts) Accuracy is how close to the central target (like a bulls eye) you are. Precision is how well your shots all group together. So if you miss the bullseye buy your shots are all grouped together well, you have good precision and mediocre accuracy.
The terminology has been carried over to computer program predictions and statistical modelling with similar definitions.
