On the contrary. It shows:

1. Place-of-articulation correlation between the LXX and MT consonants.

2. Voicing correlation between consonants.

3. Lack of stop/fricative/aspirant correlation.

4. Lack of vowel correlation.

In other words, except for the vowels and Beged Kefet, the LXX and MT
match pretty well.
