As may well have been mentioned it seems to me that a lack or a dearth of scribal mistakes could be explain by either of these, so there may well be other possible explanations:
1) All the text is nonsense I.e. as in a hoax. Clearly nonsense with mistakes is still nonsense, so there would be little point in making corrections.
2) The text was prepared i.e. the author had carefully worked out what he/she was going to write and then just copied from his/her workpad or whatever he/she used. I think this could be indicative of the use of a cipher as in that instance it would be a non-trivial task to work out how one should write the word that one wanted to write and so some kind of workpad would be very helpful.
