I'm not sure what you mean by the "true answer". After all, in some sense the true probability is either 0 or 1 it's just that we don't know which.
That's a good point. So I guess the second kind of precision doesn't make sense in this case (like it would if the bell curve were over, say, the number of beans in a jar), and "precision" should only refer to "precision with which we can extract an average probability from our information," which is very high.
