I think all they're saying is that the location X appears precise, but that it's not accurate. Just because the pin appears at location X doesn't mean that the user was actually at location X, simply that the database ended up recording their location as a (inaccurate) point that happened to be X, as opposed to recording an "area of uncertainty" or similar construct.
