SUMMARY
The achievable accuracy for measuring neutrino speed is currently limited to the order of nanoseconds, significantly lower than the accuracy of 10^-12 seconds. This limitation arises from the challenges associated with controlling and detecting neutrinos, as discussed in various papers and forum threads. Notable references include the CERN team's claims and the OPERA neutrino arrivals analysis, which provide insights into the measurement limitations faced in this field.
