Which consequence of inaccurate record-keeping risked destabilizing Inca governance despite its quipu network?

💡 Explanation

Inaccuracies led to miscalculated obligations, creating shortages, because proper allocation depended on precise accounting; therefore, this risks tax revenue misallocation rather than defaulting to oral traditions. While the quipu aimed to address failures in memory capacity, computational error remains a key systemic risk.
