Location accuracy probably should be sinusoidal where the score is not really effected if the pointer is within ~10-20km of the event.

For dates, I think it needs to take into account how far back something occurred, with recent history being +/-5 years, early modern being +/- 50 years, and ancient history being +/-500 years. That's closer to the resolution we think of events in (decades, centuries, millennia). You could probably even update the UI to have these graduations.
