Well accurate means accurate. Warts and all.
Who wants to listen to warts? A painting can never be accurate to an
original scene, and in many cases the original scene may not exist. Do
we criticise the painting for not being accurate, or do we enjoy it's
euphonic beauty?
This analogy is not appropriate to the issue under discussion. A
painting is an original since, in many cases, there is no original
scene for reference. A more apt analogy would be to ask if a
reproduction of the painting should be accurate or pleasing. I leave
you to to draw your own conclusion.
