Which surveying error increases disproportionately when algebraically summing short, biased angle measurements?

💡 Explanation

Summing angular errors algebraically involves cumulative propagation. Therefore, any initial systematic bias will amplify with more measurements, rather than remaining bounded as a random error would, because a systematic error consistently skews each measurement in roughly the same direction.
