I took a class in college taught by an aithest on the old testement as literature and the first day he challenged anyone in the class to find an contridiction in the text and over the course of the semester no one could find a single error that couldn't be reasonably explained with a proper understanding of the hebrew or the context.

This has mostly to do with translation, and of course there are people who write their own versions which are not literal translations, or are altered to fit their personal beliefs, in which case I would agree with your main point.

I would agree with this in the sense that any time you deal with a translation (of any text) you have to be very careful with what you take literaly and what you do not.
