Citing [Wikipedia][1]:

> Many actuaries were unhappy with the stereotypical portrayals of these
> actuaries as unhappy, math-obsessed and socially inept people; others
> have claimed that the portrayals are **close to home**, if a bit
> exaggerated.

Does this mean "rather accurate"?

This does not seem to match the definition found in [The American Heritage® Dictionary][2]:

> So as to affect one's feelings or interests

Nor the definition in [Wiktionary][3]:

> Affecting people close to, or within, ones family circle.

Is Wikipedia misusing the term?  
Or are those definitions wrong?  
Or am I misunderstanding these definitions?
