Dear Peter,

The Masoretes would not dream of changing anything or invent anything new.

Actually they did- the whole system they used to represent vowels. And sometimes they misunderstood things. Let's not forget that they made mistakes and their readings are sometimes faulty.
No point divinizing them after all.

Best,

Jim
