History

Which numerical recording error risk increased within the Inca bureaucracy when supplementing physical quipu ledgers with oral transmission confirmation?

A)Amplified sympathetic string vibrations
B)Introduced copyist transcription inaccuracies
C)Enhanced arithmetic calculation abilities
D)Minimized environmental degradation patterns

💡 Explanation

Errors increased because, rather than directly referencing a physical record alone, Transcription Error propagation occurred when quipu data was orally transmitted then reinscribed; therefore human error amplified numerical inaccuracies rather than aiding computational ability under environmental constraints.
