The bible has been assembled by a motor body shop. And the next to most recent fix it had good filler and sandpaper. So despite KJV’s committees trying to represent book and voice the sources they used had gap filled sanded primed and painted.

Preserving that false one voice from 500BCE / 120CE is viewed as essential. Which is where higher criticism and first language work and inter linear bibles come into play.

You didn't answer his question

The bible is meant to have a uniform voice because that correctly reflects the artificially imposed uniform voices created -500/120.

You’re meant to detect the minor voice differences preserved in books and between books based on the same queues that scholars use.

It seems like you're saying the voices should be uniform because people made the voices uniform. Is that your statement?

You’re deleting the history of the text so no. Within the history of the text yes, and only to the extent that the people who created the texts we use as primary texts did so.

We can’t recover multi voice Judaism textually to produce multi voice texts. We can only use higher criticism to discover these voices as they are residues. Thus a good translation should represent this complexity.
