Most of the Quipu have not been translated. Researchers believe they only stored numbers, yet remeberers could read back detailed stories to the first europeans who were baffled. Much like our technology, say a CD rom, 1000s of years from now, it will look crude yet hold data.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1161078474779443201 …

I guess what you'd want to know is if two separate story tellers would tell the same story from a Quipu. (Nope, haven't done the reading.)

Right, how much is left up to interpretation.. Had the same thoughts Then went to the spiritual side of tuning in to the time the knots were made and beyond. Could just be a guide.

Folks, great questions. The Spanish conquers did this very same experiment and the exact details to the story was alway read by various Incas operated by distance and time. They could not understand how they did it. I have some interesting research I did into this.
