The Textus Receptus is vindicated the more I research it.

Revelation 16:5 was a conjectural emendation by Beza? Actually there's an Ethiopic manuscript that dates 30 years before him, and its ancestor is the Latin, so there's no direct relation between them.

The Comma Johanneum is a late insertion from Latin into Greek? Actually, we have an explicit citation from St. Jerome! So it definitely existed in Greek, even if it was lost for a period of history.

I'm not saying our guys have a perfect manuscript trail, but almost every time, you can find traces of the "problematic" variants in obscure historical variants that disprove the popular theories.

Modern text critics don't always have a great manuscript either. The Nestle Aland has far more conjectural emendations than the Textus Receptus. The Majority Text doesn't, but it's based on the same transmission theories as the Nestle Aland, so that doesn't mean there are *actually* none, it just means we don't know where they are.
