Example; if mains frequency isn't perfectly accurate at exactly 60hz, but instead wavers throughout the day from 59hz to 60-1/2 hz, the strobe can only compare platter rpm against the mains frequency, whatever that may be.
Depending on the stability and accuracy of your mains frequency, the strobe may or may not be accurate.
Exceptions:
Electronic speed controllers that regenerate the frequency of the current that powers your turntable can potentially be more accurate than a turntable where the strobe depends upon the frequency of the power coming out of your wall socket.
