A quarry face is cut where it is convenient rather than perpendicular to the strike, and any oblique face shows an apparent dip less than the true one. Boreholes give the true attitude, so a face reading gentler than the boreholes is the expected result rather than a contradiction - and the two can be reconciled by the apparent dip relation.
