I agree FBM. The words of the teachings come to us who have followed hundreds of years later due to human memory from spoken words in conversations rather than formal speeches.

The words of the teachings were passed down and memorized by rote by folks who had vested interest in getting them right and nothing else to do. This isn't the game of chinese whispers you would like to make it out to be.
