: No. It's misleading to use the word "accurate" for precision and also a taboo (in North America).

with precision to
"Accuracy" is not semantically equivalent to "precision" in science and technology.
An example is "using stadiometer with precision to 1 mm".
Accuracy should mean 準確, which is not equivalent to 精确.

--------------------------------------------------
Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value. For example, if in lab you obtain a weight measurement of 3.2 kg for a given substance, but the actual or known weight is 10 kg, then your measurement is not accurate. In this case, your measurement is not close to the known value.
Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other. Using the example above, if you weigh a given substance five times, and get 3.2 kg each time, then your measurement is very precise. Precision is independent of accuracy. You can be very precise but inaccurate, as described above. You can also be accurate but imprecise.
