From a very basic person here, my understanding is that short focal length yields wider fields and therefore the "same" tracking error that you would get in your mount whether you use a long or short focal length, just doesn't visually show up as much on the short focal length.

Longer focal ratios would 'zoom' in more on the field of view and allow you to see more of the error.
