I don't think the question works.  Consider: we have a chiyuv to daven 
shmoneh esrei.  But there are different girsaot, so clearly, exact 
wording isn't critical to fulfilling the requirement.  So we already see 
that there are different levels of chiyuvim, and that we are more 
medayek on exact wording on some levels than others.

Certainly the takana is to read it properly, but there's surely a lot 
more give in what can be considered "properly" when it comes to 
something like haftara than there is for Torah.
