Are you trying to allege that a Super GM is cheating ? It is within their capacity to maintain such sort of an accuracy in classical games .

I was originally rooting for Praggnanandhaa, but using today's information, I predict that Gukesh or Ian will be first and second. Hikaru & the others will be third, Praggnanandhaa is fourth and Alireza wilk be last.
Of course the people who are tying will get a spot for themselves, but that's my overall prediction.
I was mostly correct.

You made this prediction after the 13th round, didn't you? And you apparently misread the standings, as at that stage there was zero chance for Pragg to come in 4th. You simply forgot about Caruana.

According to chess.com FAQ, "accuracy" was made for beginners and when it wasn't giving people an average "accuracy" of 80% they changed it to version 2, which now gives an average "accuracy" of 80%.
In other words it's utterly inane to judge GM games with the "analysis" tool.
An actual comparison to the #1 choice of high depth stockfish would show about a 50% matchup, as was long-ago benchmarked via top level GM games... but it's hard to market real analysis so...
He is one of those who spam YouTube / Twitch live chat with comments like "he blundered " , "omg what a comeback" when the eval bar goes from +0.6 to +0.1

Yeah, I said Hikaru & the others but miscalculated the fact that since they would have their own place, It would push Praggnanandhaa back.

Hm! Interesting, I couldn't find this on the FIDE website. But the date estimation is accurate if we consider previous events.
This is what's on FIDE website:
As usual fide is undecided;-)
FIDE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
2024 DATES AND HOST CITY TO BE ANNOUNCED
That's right, they haven't planned anything properly.
The person of challenger is important who wants to be the host for sure. So most ot the time the match host will not be fixed before the end of the candidates.
