Description:Originally Posted by sighmoon [1] The triangle is a result of inaccuracies rather than the choice of land marks. But the position of the triangle relative to the first line you draw is determined soley by the choice of landmarks. Say two people take three point fix using the same first bearing and different subsequent bearings such that one has a cocked hat to the left and one has a cocked hat to the right. Your argument would mean that the one who has the cocked hat to the left is more likely to have an error 'towards' the left and into the triangle.
