But they're not the same, so at least one of them cannot be accurate. At the very least, it's a copy error by a scribe, but that still means current biblical canon cannot be considered infallible, which is a big deal if you come from a tradition that demands you accept infallibility as a core doctrine.

True, but what interact with these people? Arguments do not matter to them anyway.
