Are you disputing the precision of carbon dating or its range specificity?

Range specificity, I have no expectation that they're actually attempting to nail down one firm year. I'm not convinced that time even elapsed at the same rate today as it did a couple thousand years ago. I take carbon dating to be a probable theory depending on how old they're trying to claim something to be. The older they claim the artifact to be, the less trusting I become of carbon dating.
