So a random site using math is somehow more accurate than a parser that uses math? Got it.

Parsers have been very accurate for a long time. I did BLM A5S in i210 and completed it in roughly 2:55. Using that site puts me at 1558.86 while my parser gave me 1557.17. I'd call a 0.1% difference to your factual math pretty precise.
