It is a very good dating method and is used frequently both for original dating as well as confirmation for other isotopes.

Except it cannot be reliably calibrated.

It has been caibrated as have the other isotopes. That’s why they are useful for dating.

We measure 1 part per quadrillion nowadays , when c14 dating was invented we could only measure 1 part per million. C14 dating is accurate , roughly to 1 or two decades throughout most of its useful range. Due to our ability to measure very small quantities.
