Well you are right when you consider that a "mutation" can just be caused by the DNA copy/repair mechanisms. But what if a chemical degradation could also cause it? Perhaps a sample dna lost bases and the sequencing read the resulting base sequence as a new mutated sequence? I am just being skeptical.
