When the accuracy doesn't change the outcome of the conclusion, but creates confusion in 99% of the people who read it, and who therefore will not understand the conclusion, then too much accuracy is not a good thing. Put another way, I'm sure you've used the phrase "in the future" which refers to a linear description of time, even though I'm sure you know that we only perceive time as being linear, because you realize that saying "in what you laypeople perceive as the future but which is really just another point in spacetime" would pointlessly confuse your audience
