[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1557563, member: 79865"] This is exactly how I describe it. I have work as a geologist or hydrologist for my whole career. Trying to explain this to students during grad school was a often an exercise in patience. I'll go with precision any day because if something is precise it can (most likely) be calibrated (dialing elevation on your scope) to also be accurate or the bias can be accommodated (holdoff or Kentucky windage). If something is not precise, it just comes down to luck as to whether or not you hit the target, which if it is accurate, but not precise, you may do some percentage of the time dependent on the degree of precision.
