Which consequence results when geometric understanding of light refraction exceeded instrument manufacturing precision during medieval astrolabe sundial production?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate time measurement occurs because angular calculations depend on precise alignment achieved through meticulous crafting, a process limited by manufacturing imprecision restricting accurate refraction. Therefore, time measurement suffers, rather than accelerated degradation, due to inherent instrument defects.
