But you have to realize that it IS the case that "any joe schmo" could change the bible if they wanted--that is, any joe schmo who could read and write, or who had the resources to commission someone else to do it.
Actually, any "joe schmo" has been changing the Bible a lot lately. Look at all the different translations coming out. One for every person.
