I have tried PerfectTunes again. (The free version.) Some of the information could be a bit strange I think.
I checked a few hundred albums which were not in AccurateRip when they were ripped (or only with a different offset, back in the days of v12). Confidence of 2 required. All files are FLAC. One track per file (with a few exceptions with embedded cuesheet, where I did not expect things to be correct)
* "Albums With Ripping Errors"
- I do not get a single "InAccurate" here. All eight albums have at least one track with "Not Enough Information in AccurateRip to Verify" - and all albums have a confidence of 2 on the rest.
Does this mean that PerfectTunes finds two different ones? If so, it cannot know which one has ripping errors? Or does it mean it finds two which agree, but disagree with mine?

* "Albums Accurately Ripped"
- Quite a few of my HDCDs that were decoded to 24-bit files (I still regret!) are in fact verified as Accurate. Could that be correct? At least one of these albums peak at 1, and reducing bit depth to 16 gives different files.
- What to take home from the following:
Southfork - Southfork [AccurateRip DiscIDs: 010-00117f60-008d85f7-910b720a]
Track 1: AccurateRip Verified Confidence 2, Pressing Offset -669 [ARv2 CRC C6502D45]
Does this mean that both these hits were with -669? Not one -669 and one something else? (Why ask? Some albums I have re-ripped, and if both hits are offset, then none are mine.)
- Likewise, what to learn from the following:
Ian Anderson - Divinities: Four Dances With God [AccurateRip DiscIDs: 004-000270a3-0009c1b0-1f035704]
Track 1: AccurateRip Verified Confidence 2, Pressing Offset +0 [ARv2 CRC 475955F5]
Does this mean that this one hits two ARv2 submissions?
* "Albums Not Present in AccurateRip"
Most of these return "Track Not Present in AccurateRip" on every track.
- But there are exceptions where the log is uninformative:
Abaddon - I Am Legion [AccurateRip DiscIDs: 008-000a123f-00428ad3-4e078208]
Track 1: G:\<rest of path>
Track 2: G:\<rest of path>
Track 3: G:\<rest of path>
Track 4: G:\<rest of path>
Track 5: G:\<rest of path>
Track 6: G:\<rest of path>
Track 7: G:\<rest of path>
Track 8: G:\<rest of path>
(that is all the tracks of the album).
- And there are exceptions reported as InAccurate:
Allhelluja - Inferno Museum [AccurateRip DiscIDs: 010-0010d6c8-0085a836-7c0a4b0a]
Track 1: Track InAccurate G:\<rest of path>
<similar for all the other tracks>
How come?
(I should mention that it seems to be all-or-nothing within the same album. Does PerfectTunes infer that an album is not in AccurateRip if all tracks are inaccurate? If so, how many tracks must the album then have?)
* "Not Lossless CD Quality"
Precisely one of the 24-bit (HDCD decoded) albums tested, is reported as Not Lossless CD Quality:
Kent - Vapen & Ammunition [AccurateRip DiscIDs: 010-00134672-00a07075-9811560b] Cannot Check: Not Lossless CD Quality
... but not the other 24-bit files! How come?
