Except precision and accuracy are the same thing.
Definition of Precision: "The quality, condition, or fact of being exact and accurate."
Definition of Accuracy: "The quality or state of being correct or precise."
Nice try tho brah.

Precision and accuracy are not actually the same thing, even though the definition you supplied suggests that they are, I'll give you an example for precision and accuracy, since they are commonly mistaken by a lot of people as being the same thing, but in fact, they are not.
Imagine you have a dart board in front of you, now if you are aiming to hit the bullseye each time and do, but the darts are spread out (think of them being as small as bolts), you are not being precise, but you are being accurate.
Now, if those darts (bolts) have all missed the bullseye completely, but are all huddled together in a place outside the bullseye, that is being precise, but not accurate.
Now if you did the same again, but the darts were both in the bullseye and huddled together inside of there, that is being both precise and accurate. Now I hope you see the difference between the two.
Nice try at trying to prove me wrong though, but I will never say something unless I am 100% certain and I have done research on the matter too.
