Which consequence results when medieval algebraic approximation underestimated pipeline material needs?

💡 Explanation

Unreliable flow results when underestimation of material needs reduces the size of the pipeline; therefore the flow is unreliable, because Bernoulli's principle dictates flow decreases through restrictions rather than component degradation as primary effect.
