True. 6-7 iterations using a typical 1990's (or whatever) era photocopier is probably enough to achieve a very noticable effect. Or a dozen word-to-mouth iterations of "telephone". Whereas with the scribed word, it probably takes rather more iterations than that for problems to occur, unless the work was done by the imperfectly skilled, or was done rushed.
