The overall product of the Masoretes, word counts, etc., indicates the attention they put to detail. Their goals were to get the text exactly correct. They were meticulous and immersed in a community of knowledgeable people. I'm sure they made a good shot at getting the pointing correct.

One scientific approach to evaluating their efforts would be to test their masora notes against their text. Has anyone checked them?
