Then you are told wrong. Loki can do this very accurately and precisely indeed, at least in some areas (major U.S. cities). So can Skyhook, which is what Google uses for clientLocation. If you don't like that, I think Plazes also has a suitable DB and API. If you don't like the lack of privacy, just don't sign up for this sort of service. But do be aware that the data is very definitely good enough to track you down to the block if you want.
