It's not a matter of "not entirely accurate". If you're giving penalties for being 100 ms off, based on a measurement with a 500 ms round trip time, you'll end up giving penalties to perfect servers. And that's exactly what is happening here. Theoretically the uncertainty is as big as half the round trip time. When a server is within that window you have no means to judge its accuracy.
