I think you're barking up the wrong tree on this issue. Nobody here has disputed the idea that the scriptures are true, and nobody has disputed the idea that the prophets are fallible. There has to be a reconciliation of the two appositve ideas, one way or another.
"It is the same" to us because the Lord has asked us to follow the guidance of the prophet the way we would follow his own guidance. Look over the chapters in Helaman where the Lord gives Nephi the sealing power-- God declares in the prescence of His angels that when Nephi speaks, he is to be obeyed as though it were God giving the command.
