“Target” and “hitting the target” seem to align very well with the terms “accuracy” and “precision”, so much so that almost all images of accuracy and precision feature a target. Maybe we could use terms like “Value Accuracy” and “Value Precision”, to be a bit more specific?
I think of “robustness” and “reliability” as aspects of “precision”, but it’s not the only ones. To me those two imply “improving on an already high chance of success”, rather than the challenge of getting anywhere close to begin with, without specific external constraints. The reason why they apply to rockets or things with chances of failure is that they are typically discussed more specifically to all the individual parts of such items. Another case of non-robust precision may be an AI trying to understand some of the much finer details of what’s considered “the human value function.”
[Edit] I don’t mean to proliferate the “new terms” problem, and don’t intend for these specific terms to get used in the future, but use them for demonstration.
