On precision vs accuracy: my recollection is that a process is precise if it's outcomes have a low variance, while an accurate process's results have a mean value that is close to the correct value.
So, "precise zaps" implies that while it might not be the correct amount, it is more or less the only amount you were going to zap.

Damn, you are right. So I basically said the opposite of what I wanted to say.
And it was even me who posted this. Should have reread my own post.

It might depend on what we mean by the "correct" value.
If that means zapping what the post is worth to you, in the abstract, then your zaps might be inaccurate due to your somewhat arbitrary budget constraint.
If, however, "correct" means zapping the right amount for your chosen budget constraint, then your zaps are both accurate and precise.
