If our universe is really exactly flat, then every measurement of its curvature, no matter how precise, will always be statistically consistent with zero.
If our universe is not really exactly flat, then a sufficiently precise measurement would be statistically inconsistent with zero. However, it might take very advanced technology to achieve that precision.
