Which error increasingly risks inaccurate Inca record-keeping related to resource allocation via quipu, when facing high glyph variability in knots?

💡 Explanation

Misinterpretation errors rise because high glyph variability affects positional notation in the quipu's khipu decimal system, which hinges on knot position to denote place value; therefore a higher variability means more reading errors, rather than physical degradation of the strings.
