I agree with you Riverfreak, though it's quite possible your head is also buried under the riverbed. The difference in precision and accuracy is quite thin. Precision is repetitious consistency using a varied array of methodology. You may disagree with that assessment, but then your science may not be precise. Accuracy is hit and miss and usually consists of a +/- factor of umpteen thousand years. I'm not sold on either. Methodology requires change contingent upon environment of sample.

I also don't remember saying that carbon-dating was used in determining the overall age of the earth nor dinosaurs though carbon-dating is used in many cases as a "test/control" for specimens as a catalyst in determining precision.
