I agree with you that it's plausible, but my point was that such a passage in the Book of Mormon would be a cause for much fun making in those such as yourself who are inclined to find "plausible" explanations for the Bible, but fault with the Book of Mormon.
Surely NOT!!!
In my BoM 1981 edition, on the page with the introduction (4th sheet from front) has these lines...
"The record is now published in many languages as a new and additional witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that all who will come unto him and obey the laws and ordinances of his gospel may be saved.
Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: "I told the brethern that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book."
NOT with the BoM!!

Thank you Elsie, you prove my point admirably defending the "inerrant" Bible.
I never said the Book of Mormon was perfect, Joseph said most correct, not perfect, there are however those who claim the Bible is perfect, perfectly translated, perfectly preserved, complete and untampered with by men, the unaltered word of God.
Good day.
