Which risk increased as larger complex quipu-based datasets managed Inca agricultural storage?

💡 Explanation

Larger quipu records amplified numerical data corruption during encoding/decoding because manual Khipucamayuq (specialist) transcription introduced errors and potential misunderstandings. Therefore data integrity worsened, rather than physical quipu or agricultural conditions being the primary cause.
