Exactly right. Men will say it is but they have nothing to back up that claim.
For hundreds and hundreds of years people in Western Europe and elsewhere were sold a bill of goods concerning Jerome’s Vulgate - a translation that was thought then to be an accurate translation - but could not have been since Jesus on this Earth preceded the later Masoretic Text that Jerome used - and yet they still used it.
People today say, “THIS is the best manuscript or authoritative translation/compilation” the very same way that people who thought they had it right then (but didn’t) said it in the past.
