i don't think anyone is stating it's 100% accurate. anyone who understands it will say that it's accurate enough.
any site that is being dated has many many samples taken from it (or should), the accuracy of the dating is taken from many carbon based objects, not 1 or 2, in order to determine of what age the strata being dated is attributed.
The sketchier finds regarding carbon dating "facts" come from dating things that cannot really be dated, things like stone structures.
