That's right, the imperfect makers of the KJV could not improve upon the perfections of the original language words given by inspiration of God to the prophets and apostles.
Are you suggesting that later editiors did not improve upon the 1611 edition of the KJV when they made over 2,000 changes to it, including adding over 140 words not found in the 1611 edition, omitting over 45 words found in the 1611 edition, etc.?
Are you saying that the errors that the makers of the KJV kept in the 1611 KJV from the 1602 edition of the Bishops' Bible were perfect and should not have been corrected by later editors?

Once the printing errors had been fixed, and typographical and spelling had been updated and standardized, the precious King James Holy Bible had been purified. And therefore, once it had been purified, there are no longer any improvements made since it had already been purified and perfected.
You have not demonstrated that all the actual errors in the 1611 edition were the fault of the printers.
In which year and by what printer was the first completely "purified" edition of the KJV first printed?
How long did it take for the KJV to be "purified" since present KJV editions have changes and improvements made as late as the early 1900's and they do not have some improvements that were actually made in the 1700's?
A number of present KJV editions have renderings that were corrected and improved in later KJV editions. For one example, many present KJV editions have the rendering "God" for the Hebrew name translated Jehovah in other verses even though it was corrected to "GOD" as early as the 1629 Cambridge edition.
