Can we trust the Vedas as the information was transferred through oral recitation?

[Smt. Priyanka asked: Paadanamaskaaram Swami, When I was talking about some spiritual concept, the opponent asked where I had got the information from. I replied that it was mentioned in the Veda. The opponent rejected it saying we can never trust anything blindly because there might have been modifications to the original scripture. I said one can try to analyse it deeply and see if it makes sense as per the context and that our Vedas are the highest authority in Hinduism. I also added that they have been preserved through recitation from one generation to the other without insertions. The opponent replied saying, "That is precisely why Vedas cannot be trusted because the information was transferred orally one person to another". The opponent also gave an example of the game 'Chinese whisper' to support their opinion. I replied saying that the sages were very careful in this matter and this cannot be compared to a mere game played by normal human beings. The opponent still mocked and left. When such a question is put by someone else in future, how shall I answer the next time? At Your divine lotus feet, Priyanka]

Swami replied:- The Veda as mere text was transferred from one generation to the other and no insertion or deletion was possible. Even if you doubt such possibility, we are asking you to believe in the knowledge of the Veda after doing deep logical analysis. If there is any illogical point, we ourselves will say that it is an insertion because God, who is the author of the Veda is always logical even though He is beyond logic. We are not saying that he/she must blindly believe in the Veda since it is spoken by God. Under these circumstances, the opponent’s argument cannot stand anymore.
