A precise smile is only a visual description, like lopsided smile or wide smile. I don't think that it has something to do with the honesty.

Hmm, I don't really think that's what it means, at least not in the context I've seen it used. Think of it like a practiced smile, like something a salesman or politician or receptionist would use. Some similar phrases might be plastic smile or botox smile. There's also Pan Am Smile, used to describe the particular smile used by flight attendants on Pan American flights. It's a very practiced smile used to convey a sense of friendliness during a business transaction. The person may be dying a thousand deaths inside, but they put on a happy face because their career depends on it.

That's exactly what I was trying to describe, when I was sleep typing the post above. But it doesn't mean that the character is lying or being cynical. It's just like a poker face, a staged expression, which can't be interpret as a fake smile. The character might be really happy, angry or nervous, when it casts a precise smile at yours. It might be in love with your character or just hate to interact with it.
