A lot of studies have been done on what percent of rape accusations are false, and the percentages vary wildly from study to study. 2-10% is not a widely accepted figure, just a number that most of the studies fall between. I would agree though, obviously the problem of rape is far greater than the problem of false rape accusations.

Edit: Added a few points.

Okay, find me something more tangible and universally accepted by researchers if you have something important to say

That's kind of my point... there isn't anything more accepted. The range in the different studies show that it is something that is incredibly difficult to measure, and our knowledge on it is extremely limited.
