Rename precision to accuracy #18

Closed curby closed 9 years ago

From a quick read of the code, the variable "precision" seems to refer to a possible offset between "true" and reported server time due to network latency: this difference is correctly labeled "accuracy."

No, the accuracy of the difference between the two clocks is unknowable.
