Which outcome directly resulted when ancient ropewalks exceeded fiber length limits?

💡 Explanation

Ropewalks had length limits related to available fiber, inducing excessive splicing; axial force transfer suffered, because excessive splices introduce stress concentrations. Therefore, lower tensile strength occurred, rather than improved knotting or flexibility because of increased defects.
