The discussion assumes that the Quran's preservation is absolute, yet it overlooks the complexities of textual transmission and interpretation. Inference: The reliance on memorization as proof of integrity may not account for historical context or the subjective nature of belief. Without addressing how interpretations can vary, the argument risks oversimplifying the relationship between faith and textual authenticity.
