Just a guess:
Precision basses are (usually) fretted rather than fretless. This forces the player to have perfectly precise intonation. On a double bass (or any other fretless instrument) it's easy to stop the string at the wrong point, creating inaccurate, imprecise intonation.

Yes, you're right.
The Fender Precision Bass was the first fretted bass (1951) !

Hints:

It has something to do with an element that human males lack as compared to the other male primates.

The second feature has to do with the size.
