It's more the difference in the position of objects relative to each
other (perspective) that is of more concern shooting a TLR close in
than the error in framing (which is what the correction tries to
compensate for). The paramender device Mamaya produced that you
describe corrects for the perspective/parallax error. A. Adams was
bothered by this and avoided TLRs and rangefinders because of
it... Eric Goldstein

Adams liked his ground glass and MF SLRs (Hassies provided by the
factory). Hand holding does not produce sharp negatives and he generally
steered clear... this is all discussed in his famous trilogy, where he
demonstrates the perspective error created by the different viewing and
taking lenses on a Hassy SW...
