"Why introduce this possible error when
it's completely unnecessary?"
Its the "why" query that led to an introduction of those other elements (with the exception of plotting error), just as the 'risk of reefs' led me to assume that your topic involved practical nav. Silly me.
Peter, I repeat: I am NOT talking about observation error from
rolling decks, systematic error, plotting error, or anything else.
I'm ONLY addressing round off error ...
