All such "reports" of history had no strength. Now you take some reports as absolute fact. This makes me laugh.
I am not one that made the claims you are arguing against. Try again.
The general view is that the recitation in which dialect is what Uthman canonized and not the actual letters of the Quran which was canonized during lifetime of the Messenger.
At any rate, despite his efforts, Muslims have different variations of recitation.
For example. There is a verse that says "El Yaseen" according to some of the recitations passed down and it says "Auli Yaseen" according to others.
That is something that a lot of Muslims don't know but it has not been safeguarded.
Although most Qurans printed today are of a certain recitation, there is no way to know that recitation was the one recited by the Messenger.
