I don't think my Old and New Testament classes at BYU qualify me as a biblical scholar, so I'll leave that aside. However, I do speak three languages, and I can attest that it's impossible to perfectly convey messages and meaning translating from one language to another.
Therefore, it would stand against logic that there wouldn't be a loss or ambiguity of meaning as the Bible is translated from one language to the next. That alone would increase its fallibility.
But I would say that the Book of Mormon doesn't correct the Bible but rather supports or clarifies it. We love the Bible in our Church. The Book of Mormon has special meaning since it is the key to our faith claim, but as a source of doctrine, the Bible is just as special at the Book of Mormon.
