From: I know EXACTLY where I am..
If the initial numbers are off by more that a few degrees, particularly latitude, many INS/IRS can detect that on alignment, as the platform does not tilt with earth's rotation as the system expects it to with the wrong numbers entered.

I don't know how far the numbers have to be off for this to work though.
