Accuracy errors typically come from systematic errors — as in, your measuring device/method isn’t good enough to detect whatever you aim to detect accurately. Precision errors are more often associated with noise, randomness, electronic errors, temperature, or other factors that affect measurements.

Over 50 years ago, researchers circumnavigated the Americas sampling ocean life along the way at regular intervals. In the process, they discovered a striking relationship: the abundance of a certain marine species is linked to its body size such that its collective mass is basically the same. Krill are a billion times smaller than tuna, but their numbers are a billion times more abundant. If you were to weigh all the krill in the ocean, the mass should be close to all the tuna — but not anymore. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]umans-broke-a-natural-law-of-ocean-life/
