But probably due to reading errors and whatnot this accurate rip cannot be obtained and different rips are neccessary to get a probability of this 'perfect' rip.
It's not really a probability, AccurateRip and CUETools give you a "confidence" number for the rip. This is just equal to the number of people who have submitted rips with an identical checksum to you. So if AccurateRip gives you a confidence of 20, that means that 20 different people have ripped the CD and got the same result as you. Which is a pretty good indication your rip is accurate, barring the case where a publisher has sent out a batch of 20 defective CDs and you happened to get one of them. But even in that case it would be an "accurate" rip of the defective copy.
