Scorecard habit
On your Scorecard this row is called Is it safe? — before you let go of a piece: what is your opponent’s strongest response. It grades one principle, each on the positions where it actually applied, and reads as clean, or a count of slips.
Why accuracy misses this
Accuracy is one number: how often you matched the engine. It cannot tell you the pattern behind the misses. This row names the habit — Is it safe? — and only counts a miss when Stockfish’s own line shows the principled move was better and yours cost you winning chances.

Before you let go of a piece, ask what your opponent’s strongest response is.
In the next game: Every move, check the piece you just touched and the piece it stopped defending: what is their strongest reply?

The board defines the opportunity — a position where the principle applies — and Stockfish is the referee: a miss is counted only when the engine’s own line at that move embodies the principle and your move cost you winning chances, so the row never blames you for a rule the position did not ask for. The row reads as clean, or as a count of slips.
