Question: Why are so many radiocarbon dating results inconsistent?

Is radiocarbon dating always accurate?

Radiocarbon dating exploits this contrast between a stable and unstable carbon isotope. During its lifetime, a plant is constantly taking in carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Advancing technology has allowed radiocarbon dating to become accurate to within just a few decades in many cases.
