You talk about percentages as if they are inherent in nature. As if they could exist outside of human beings. And certainty (or more scientifically, accuracy) is not precision. Precision is possibly what empirical and experimental research can demonstrate or allude to.
Not accuracy, because we all understand that that is an absolute, and yet do humans truly understand what an absolute is, other than as a figment of their imagination.
