What is the difference between Weapon Accuracy and Critical Hit Accuracy?

When viewing statistics for various heroes under Career Profile, most heroes have a Weapon Accuracy and a Critical Hit Accuracy stat.

I assume that "critical hit" refers to headshots, and "weapon accuracy" is how accurate you are with a weapon, of course.

What I don't understand is what "critical hit accuracy" is. How is this different from "weapon accuracy"?

Weapon Accuracy: Out of all of the shots you fired, how many you hit. For example: out of 100 Shots fired, 50 shots hit, so you have 50% Weapon Accuracy.

Critical Hit Accuracy: Out of all the shots you hit, how many were critical (headshots). For example, out of 200 shots fired, 100 shots hit, but 20 were criticals, so you have 20% Critical Hit Accuracy.

And going a step further, Widowmaker has a special stat called Scoped Critical Accuracy, which is the accuracy for criticals dealt while scoped (so the SMG shots don't count)

It's the percentage of how much of your shots are critical hits. Basically, if you have 10 shots in your record and 2 of them are headshots for example, your critical hit accuracy would be 20%.

I do not know whether or not missed shots are counted in this stat, however.
