"My concer [sic] is that pool.ntp.com servers are not policed for accuracy."
But they are monitored and "policed". Stop spreading FUD.
In the last three months (the period where I have detailed data) we've had 4 servers off by more than a second while active in the pool. One of them (only active in the Ukraine and Europe) 4 times, the others just once.
I did the same query for "more than half a second" and got a few more servers, but still less than you can count on two hands.

Journal Journal: NTP Pool gives away free time server equipment
Last slashdot wrote about the NTP Pool was when we reached 500 servers. We're now at just about 1000 and to push us over that barrier our friends at Meinberg have given us free high quality time keeping equipment to give away to pool members!
