Since the original autographs are not available then that dogma seems irrelevant and the belief which holds that today's copies are substantially the same is unwarranted since there is no way of comparing the two.
On a related note, how could anyone write down what God said without any chance of miscommunication? Could the writer have misheard?
Is that a methodical dispassionate response?
