Is chess.com's rating estimator accurate?

When a game is reviewed on chess.com, when you scroll all the way down there is a rating estimate for the players of the game. I know there are some problems of this, as for example if a 2000 rated player plays a game with 75 accuracy, the review would probably estimate the 2000-rated player to be like 2200 or something. But if a 1000-rated player played the same game with the same accuracy, the estimator would give like a 1400 estimate or something. But besides from this flaw, overall, is it accurate? I feel that when chess.com estimates me to be 2200 I feel they are completely overestimating me. also I have no Idea on what category to put this under so I put it under game analysis

As you said , it is not accurate. You are no more a 2200 than you are a 400.

Your ratings are the result of both your well played games and your poorly played games.

I understand your point, which is correct, but your example isn't the best, because 75% is a pretty low accuracy. If a 2000 gets 75% accuracy, the rating estimation would be below their actual rating.
