Which reading error increases when an astrolabe's *rete* is warped?

💡 Explanation

A warped rete distorts the projection of celestial coordinates, thus leading to a measurement error, because the star pointers would no longer align correctly. The coordinate error increases, rather than any altitude, position, or latitude offset, therefore only measurement is applicable.
