Which outcome occurs when a medieval astrolabe incorporates inaccurate plate calibrations for the user's specific latitude?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate plate calibrations induce incorrect angle projections; because the stereographic projection relies on precise latitude, errors create distortion in celestial altitude readouts using geometric relationships on the plate, therefore reducing accuracy, rather than causing structural damage or unrelated optical effects.
