They are narrowing the haplotype frequencies down more and more, the problem is not having a wide range database with more samples to draw from... it's a young science, give it time. The world is doing fascinating stuff with DNA, mDNA and other types of genetic sequencing.
One of the things I find questionable is some of the 'roots' and ancestral DNA sites which tout being able to definitively report on a person's ancestry---with, as you said, having an accuracy range only and probably not the most accurate sequencing machines available...
