“While scientists say the shift is harmless, it is meaningful. It might play havoc with navigation tables and the like.

It might play havoc with navigation tables and the like. Take a baskeball. Set it twirling on your finger. Does its shape change? Now take a hard boiled egg in its shell (so you don't get your fingers dirty).
Spin it. Does its shape change?
Please explain your reasoning.
