Probably because 99% accuracy isn't good enough.

It may not be 100% true, but quanitfying the accuracy certainly helps.

Does it need to be 100% accurate?

Retric Dec 2, 2024 View on HN

Pretty accurate != always, which is the point.

cinntaile Nov 3, 2021 View on HN

Do you know how accurate it is?

bagels Nov 9, 2024 View on HN

Precision, maybe, but is it accurate to that degree?

TL;DRIt's NOT 100% accurate

You can't get 100% accuracy on something for which you don't or can't know the ground truth.

how accurate is this? like percentage wise

100% accuracy does not exist in real-world systems. 99.99999% accuracy might be good enough, though.
