This statement is simply incorrect. There are multiple versions of the book of Daniel with different chapters and lengths in Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish texts. The Dead Sea Scrolls revealed different versions of texts. Interestingly changes in the text are evident in both testaments as well. Any good scholarly Bible with notes will mention, for example, that the originals of the Gospel of Mark did not have a story of the resurrection.
