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.

Biology-mysteries - http://list25.com[..]manity-has-not-figured-out-yet/?view=all

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/
