As to whether these things matter? They matter to me when someone tells me the Bible is divinely inspired and proves god. They also matter when trying to see how Christianity evolved.
Whether it matters to you and why depends on how much and in what way your faith depends upon the Bible. Miss-transcription of the Bible or even proof that is a miss-transcribed second -hand account certainly doesn't prove there was no Jesus. But it may alter your view of him or how much you think you know about him.
Okay. That makes sense.
