I've been talking to a person who believes in conspiracies against bible translations. For him, only the translations done during the Reformation are good, the rest, are corrupted by ecumenism.
When I ask if he had done Greek or Hebrew formally, or know anything about textual criticism, or any knowledge of how we got the Greek text, the answer is "I have studied greek and hebrew for a long time".
I offer you this post by our friend, Jim West, that I think hits the nail in the head.

That’s idiotic. It’s like saying that if you spell one word wrong you’ve spelled them all wrong or if you are wrong about one thing you’re wrong about everything. No one treats anyone that way- why would anyone treat the Bible that way? Not to mention the simple fact that these KJV only people are more historically ignorant and more uninformed about the transmission of Scripture than any atheist could ever hope to be. Indeed, even worse, they are idolaters, worshipers of a book.
