Yes and no.

I’ve seen obsessions with accuracy destroy marriages and families and doom children to crime and prison.

And, . . .

far tooooo often . . .

at the root of obsessions with accuracy is

. . . .

PRIDE.

And Pride, arrogance, self-righteousness . . . are ALWAYS DEADLY, DESTRUCTIVE.

It is also a false sense of security to imagine that we CAN be extremely precise.

Even quantum physics illustrates that this most precise of sciences at the foundational level CANNOT be precise.

Given that . . . the rest of us are fooling ourselves to think that we can be exhaustively precise about much of anything else.

And when precision gets in the way of RELATIONSHIP AND CARING HEARTS . . . then that’s WRONG . . . NOT right.
