Paul Sperry is trustworthy and the report is probably correct. Unfortunately.

Hopefully the translator's work is being double checked by their supervisor, who is more trustworthy.

What makes you think the supervisor knows the language well enough to translate it ?

The paradigm you wish were in place is one where a Senior/Expert translator is responsible for all the final work of those translators under his/her purview. Those people may share the very same biases. Visit a university Arabic department and see for yourself.
