Substituce "obsessive accuracy" by "artistic freedom". Listen at eg three different recordings of the same Symphony. Do they sound the same? Most certainly not. Don't overdo either - boneheaded strictness should best be left to computers, fuzziness to <genre name withheld as not to upset anyone>. You're a human, not a machine. Act accordingly. Relax.

As per "work on something" - I found out that playing passages staccatissimo really helps with my timing, ie all 1/16 notes with necessary gaps in between, ignoring slurs etc. Trains my rhythm "gut feeling" as well as my staccato. Once I have the timing in my ear, it's a lot easier.
