What to do if I found a disc's CRC wrong in AccurateRip database?

Hi, I'd like to know is there a way to report this to AccurateRip's database so it could get fixed.

I have a cd drive of model "ATAPI - DVD A  DH16ABSH", which is listed on AccurateRip's model list, with a offset of 6.
Also I have verified this offset with some other discs(including 'key discs'), they all gave me 'accurate rips'.

The program I used were EAC 1.00b2 and foobar2k 1.1.18.
EAC just simply reports CRCs don't match:

No tracks could be verified as accurate
You may have a different pressing from the one(s) in the database

While I know fb2k will try to calculate (and match) CRCs using different offsets, so I used fb2k also, and the output:

AccurateRip status:
Track  Status

02    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).
03    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).
04    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).
05    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).
06    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).
07    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).
08    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).
09    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).
10    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).
11    Accurately ripped with offset: -515(2).


FWIW, I have several questions:
Does the confidence 2 in EAC's report refers to there were 2 reports to the accuraterip database before?
And so does the (2) in fb2k's report?

Since I could verify my drive and my ripping settings with different discs, while all other discs I've tried reported exact match, does it mean the probability of wrong CRCs in accuraterip database?

So if I think the CRCs in accuraterip database is not correct, is there a way to fix it?

P.S.
The problematic disc is "小松未歩 - 謎"(Miho Komatsu - Nazo), a jpop disc released in 1997.

EDIT:
(I think) I know exactly what the terms such as read offset, jitter, C2 error, etc. mean, and I know how audio cd is differenct from data cd.
And yes, I know I could simply achieve 'Exact Audio Rip' by just ignoring these and I don't plan to do 'Exact Audio Copy'(means I don't plan to burn it, etc..). But thanks to fidelity, I want to achieve 'Exact Audio Copy'.

You may try to use CUetools to reecnode the tracks with corrected offset, there's an option for automatic fix

EAC can't do cross-pressing verification (it only reports if other entries exist if an exact match to your pressing isn't found). The alternate pressing reported by FB2K is similar to your disc but the CRCs in the AccurareRip database are for that pressing not yours. However you now know your disc is accurate.

Encoding to match the offset of a different pressing is not necessary.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought CDs produced by the same maker to be totally same and only different versions (such as releases in different countries) to have this problem, but definately I was wrong.

Discs are created in batches, or pressings, each pressing can have a different built in offset.
