Which outcome results when imperfections exist within a historical sextant's mirrors?

💡 Explanation

Celestial position errors increase because sextant mirrors rely on the principle of Optical reflection; imperfections introduce parallax. Therefore, navigational accuracy diminishes, rather than creep occurring which is mechanical in nature or warped frame hygroscopic in nature.
