Colin's scale is neither accurate nor precise. 
Lamant's scale is both accurate and precise 
Kivrin's scale is precise but not accurate 

You can think of accuracy and precision like a dart board. If the darts are concentrated in one area then the thrower is precise. If the darts land near the bulls-eye then the thrower is accurate.
