Default Masoretic Emendations

My friend brings up the question of the Masoretic emendations. How do I answer?

Quote:
The masoretes record 134 instances where they intentionally changed the name of God (YHWH) to Elohim or Adonai in the process of de-anthropomorphizing a text. Often the original placement of YHWH is evident from the LXX or the DSS where the change (a subtraction from the "word of God" if you will) is in the King James...
Shalom,
