Which navigation risk increased despite 1700s sextant improvements?

💡 Explanation

Sextant accuracy improved observation, but mathematical manual calculations introduced position errors; because spherical trigonometry was still required, calculation skills became limiting, therefore calculation error increased, rather than sextant error becoming insignificant.
