Their argument crumbles anyway. MBJ and Zion both agree that 1. you can't notice the changes, and 2. they don't matter. They seem to use this argument in the sense that we should therefore accept the changes. But in doing so it raises two counter questions. 1. if you can't notice the changes, why put them there? and 2. if they don't matter than why does it matter so much to have them edited?

The simple answer, I think is capitalism and censorship. As any true american they don't want to move over for anyone. They want to have control over practically everything that effects them, even if it also effects others. They don't see the problem with this. They'll swear the changes don't matter - but what they're really saying is "what I'm doing shouldn't matter to you, because you don't tell me what to do. I do what I want to do my way whenever I want to do it". And Tikigod is right, the changes might well be comparatable to changing one stroke of a picasso painting. However isn't that in disrespect to the original work?

People wanted you to give them water. But instead you made lemonade and said "this will do, whether you like it or not".
