What happened to the accuracy when the least count is decreased?

The least count error is the error associated with the resolution of the instrument.
Accuracy can be defined as the amount of uncertainty in a measurement with respect to an absolute standard.
Precision describes the reproducibility (many measurements with the same instrument) of the measurement.
Resolution can be expressed in two ways:
Sensitivity is an absolute quantity, the smallest absolute amount of change that can be detected by a measurement.
Personally I find Sensitivity and Resolution definitions a bit confusing. These (excerpts) above have been copied from: Accuracy, Precision, Resolution & Sensitivity
