      Np.

      As someone else pointed out in another comment. I’ve been saying the x% accuracy number incorrectly. It’s just a colloquial way of conveying the accuracy. The truth is that no one in the industry uses “percent accuracy” and instead use FMR (false match rate) and FNMR (false non-match rate) as well as some other metrics.
