I actually don't believe that. There's counter-evidence, in that tons of manuscripts have scribal errors. Here's 200,000 articles about it, if you're interested.

This, however, does not in the least undermine my respect for, and reliance on, the Bible as what it truly is, God's word. His message gets through, regardless, Deo gratias.

The Dead Sea scrolls were almost identical to current scrolls. There were few differences mainly change in shape of the same letter. The Scribes would add up the values of the letters in all the lines and columns to look for errors. Temple scrolls were perfect. I don’t believe that all the scrolls are in error.
Here is an interesting article about scribes and texts.
