In my example above, if you only have a 49% chance to hit the target, you can put put 500 points into perception, guess what, you're still only going to have a 49% chance to hit the target.
You must increase that 49% if you want to have a better chance of hitting the target and the only way to do that is through dexterity. If you do not raise that 49% then you will just about always miss the target no matter how high your perception is.
Increasing Perception will not ever change the 49% chance to hit that has to be done through dexterity.
Yes, you are correct.
However, low perception (ie accuracy) can reduce that amount number further as you distance yourself from the target.
