Yes. Duh.
Then you're even dumber than I already thought. Wow.

Neither more nor less dumb than the Christians and Muslims who follow a document they claim can't be corrupted and say all the same things you've been saying.
First of all, I have no idea what protections are in place for Christian and Muslim texts and no comparison should be made. Second of all, I made no claim that it couldn't be corrupted. I quite clearly stated: "Controls were put in place to prevent that from happening. So your scenario ("all our existing copies are copied from the original source of the error") is unlikely."

Of course you haven't read it. If you did, you would have noticed that there isn't any description of how a document can be manually copied thousands of times without error. It just blathers about the importance of accuracy and then says copyists were instructed to be very careful.
That sucks. But I'm sure other links can be found that are more clear.

So are you claiming thousands of copyists over thousands of years were all infallible?
No.

Or that someone told to be very careful will never make a mistake?
No.

That safety measures against failure will be 100% effective when followed, and that they'll be followed 100% of the time?
No.

If a mistake happens during the copying, which is highly unlikely for a whole bunch of reasons), then it would would probably be found by someone else and either corrected or destroyed.
