False precision refers to the misleading impression of accuracy that occurs when a measurement or statement is presented with more detail or specificity than is warranted by the actual data. This can happen in various contexts, such as statistics, scientific measurements, or everyday reporting. For example, if a measurement is reported as 12.34567 meters, it may imply a high degree of precision.
