> Marking a point is a simple realization of a random experiment but with a single draw. The marked position is not the true value, i.e., if you repeat the marking procedure several times you will not end up with identical positions. These deviations are characterized by the stochastic model and the position is improved by further information e.g. observations in least-squares. It is simple application of statistic. You shouldn't draw conclusions from a single draw - that's a fallacy.
