If Psalms 12:6-7 do not refer to the preservation of God's word (referring to the Hebrew/Greek MSS), then the KJV would not be here.

Then by your own words, this is the end of the Onlyist myth, as God has preserved His word in English in many versions BEFORE the AV 1611 was made. The proof? the present existence of those versions. They may not be regularly used any more, but they are there, for anyone to read. And each of those versions is different from any other, as is the KJV.
It stands to reason that if the Psalms in question are about preservation, then this means that God has preserved His word in one unbroken line ever since He first presented it to man, and since his word was already settled in heaven, this preservation is EARTHLY preservation. This means that when His word was first translated into English, the English-speaking people have had His word available ever since then. And that was LONG before 1604-1611. Since there have been many English versions of His word both before and after 1611, this is proof positive of two things: KJVO is wrong, and God presents His word AS HE CHOOSES.
