Accurate, but...: Lab tests are tested to determine their level of accuracy under certain circumstances. If a commonly done test is performed by a commercial lab, for the right circumstances, the result is accurate. One's doctor gets to decide if a test should be repeated (the doctor knows the actual circumstances for his patient), because "accurate" does not mean 100% accurate. Life is not 100% one way or another.
