I am assuming you don't live in the United States, Mr. Lord. This is fairly standard dogma among loads of current Protestant sects (admittedly conservative and right-wing for the most part). Actually, there are many who apply this to the King James Version, making that, in their minds, the definitive Bible. Translation issues are snares of the Devil, sir!
To drag this back to Glorantha, there is no reason various sects (venerating or sacrificing) can't feel the same way about their translation of the Abiding Book or any other scripture -- the One God fixed it this time, honest!
