While editing, I have often come across re-edits by the 2k+ rep members like this(just an example) where I have seen minor editing changes like the one in given link. I know the raw (the one containing the TEX language) version of the post looks quite bad with the type of editing I have done in the stated case but the actual output i.e. the post (the one viewed by everybody) looks the same in both the cases.
I can give another example. I don't remember the post but I am illustrating the case:
Suppose I want to write 5 m/s using TEX. In that case, both the following write-ups have the same output:
- $5$ $m/s$
- $5 \,\mathrm{m/s}$
So my question is: Why is this re-edit important? I know there must be some reason. But since the final result is the same in such cases, I don't see these edits as that much important.
P.S. Nothing to do with page linked. Please do not come up with answers like ACuriousMind is right and you are wrong and so on. I know I am wrong and ACuriousMind has been here for a longer time than I have been. I just want the logic, nothing else.
