They may encounter some human error, for example, a parallax error. Parallax error arises when the reading is taken from a random angle. It is a non-technical (human) error in which there is a difference in the readings if the readings are taken at different angles. So, to avoid this error we must always take the readings by positioning our eyes just perpendicularly above the markings.
