You are not asking the right question. This is like asking someone what 
color paint you should use, or how large of a table you should buy. 
Necessary accuracy is related to application and context. You can't just 
waltz in and demand a universal answer. It will depend on what *you* are 
doing with it and how much accuracy *you* *personally* want or need.
