Which outcome followed damage to Inca quipu records stored long-term?

💡 Explanation

Damage prevents accurate encoding of data, thus hindering labor tracking because efficient record-keeping used knot placement— a form of data compression for relaying numeric, rather than text based messaging along the chasqui routes. Therefore, organized Mit'a labor shifts were jeopardized rather than affecting agricultural or weight estimates.
