[Avodah] Menachem Cohen, Israeli Scholar, Completes Mission To 'Fix' Hebrew Bible

[Simon Montagu]

I think what happened here is that a sub-editor was cutting the
article and created the nonsense by combining two paragraphs, one of
which originally said that Cohen found fewer errors in N and K than in
the Torah; and the other that Sifrei Torah, as opposed to printed
editions, have no vowels and trope. It happens all the time in
journalism.
