Quran
: "For those familiar with Joseph Witzum's works, what best explains the contradicting accounts in the Qur'an? I'm of the opinion that these weren't simply careless mistakes (since the Qur'an seems carefully structured), but why do such things? Especially when it's such minute details being altered?"
