Frank:   It could be accurate.  I mean, if you wish to use the phrace,  go ahead.

For example, I could say;  "My answer is barely accurate."
"The facts in the newspaper  are barely accurate."   No problems there.

But how would "I"  communicate this?   Like so.

"The results are a mere approximation at best."
"The results only offer an  average."
"The results are inconclusive."
"The results are not entirely conclusive."
"The results are more suggestive than an explicit  demonstration."
"The results do not show any kind of   finality."
"The results  show that further  research  is necessary to obtain to a conclusive answer."
