Before getting too deep into this particular argument, it would be good to review documents at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp.html and ntp.org.  

When discussion time synchronization using NTP, stratum refers to the distance from reference clock.  Accuracy is separately a function of reference clock and there are many variants of reference clock.  That two systems are “in synch” is the magic of NTP algorithms and is orthogonal to accuracy.
