Inaccurate computer CD reading?


OK, here's something I never understood, so maybe somebody can enlighten me:

Why do people say that CD's ripped onto a computer using Exact Audio Copy sound better/more accurate than with other software?

How can a computer CD drive be inaccurate? After all, they are used for executable software that must be entirely bit-accurate or else the software may simply crash. Why would it be different for reading audio CD's?
