I mean, seriously, how can there be an argument? 'All the copies read ABC, but personally I think the original MAY have read XYZ, so let's abandon ABC in favor of XYZ.' What kind of reasoning is that? I'll tell you what kind - it's NOT 'reasoning' at all.

We do have at least one manuscript (The Shem Tov) that does not have the Trinitarian formula. so no the Zero manuscript support argument is not 100% true.
We also have plenty of external evidence and internal evidence which does not support the Trinitarian reading.
