Only the still pool reflects the stars?

Question

Only the still pool reflects the stars?

Answer 1

The still pool reflects the stars predictably so you know where to look for them.

  An agitated pool reflects them randomly so you likely won't see them.

Answer 2

A hand held mirror reflects the stars but if you don't hold it steady you may not see the reflections.  If the pool has waves (unsteady) you may not see the reflections.
