I suppose that the bar of 90% being "pretty accurate" is a tolerable standard for most folks.

In my business, if I'm "pretty accurate" 90% of the time, I'm out of business.

In your business, if you're "pretty accurate" 90% of the time and, with regard to the remaining 10%, the building collapses, would you still be OK with "pretty accurate"?

Suffice it to say that I find it quite surprising that an architect would be OK with 90% "pretty accurate".

I could conclude from your statement that only 75% is perfectly accurate. The real question, from those who are not on the school board, and do not have inside information is:

Which 75% do you believe?
