A precision of 40 to 50 is pretty insanely accurate. I don't think you find precision that good in the game, normally. The fact that it drops after that by the formula given is surely an artifact of regression fitting, which is the only feasible way that Cherry could possibly have derived such a convoluted formula. It's almost certainly not *THE* formula used in the code, but it's likely a good enough approximation for all reasonable values of precision.
