How so? I don't think blockage of clear context is possible for example with these factors alone. There should be nothing to obstruct language from being clear in this regard.
The problem with assuming there is malice/sorcery/etc. behind things is I feel it creates a double standard if not applied universally. It implies that people are dark or evil rather than ignorant, confused, restricted to human reason, or simply forgetting things.
So I'd say if you are to believe that humans get Scriptures wrong because of Satan, you might as well consider it that if someone misses your birthday, for example, that it was Satan rather than a misunderstanding or forgetfulness, too. Otherwise, it kind of creates a double standard about human reason.
And I'll be honest... considering Satan is behind everything "wrong" that humans do, is a belief that leads to suspicion, possible hostility toward others, etc - if not careful.
