What do you mean?
Besides, it is wrong. If you create a font editor you want accuracy. If
you create an image editor you want accuracy. If you create a proofing
application you want accuracy. If you create a PDF application you want
accuracy.
They want accuracy TO THE EXTENT THEY (and others) CAN PERCEIVE IT. That
is the key. Human perception is far more limited than most people realize.
