You're demonstrating confusion about the difference between a gun's and/or load's inherent accuracy and marksmanship.

Back to this. The only exceptional quality about the .22 rimfire is that sometimes it tests the rule. The fact that a .22 rimfire can be used with surprising effectiveness in very competent hands is no endorsement for its general acceptance for uses where larger rounds are far better suited.

Do you see?

You're arguing technicalities. I'm arguing pragmatics.
