What about the instances where they contradict each other? And what about the Septuagint, which is the oldest collation of the Hebrew Bible that we have (even if it is in Greek)? Or, for that matter, the more recent archaeological finds which include snippets of the text which are older than anything available at the time when Stephanus (for example) was working?
