7. Depends if the editor has the same goals as the writer.
Some editors think they know what something should say.


Does an editor enhance for readability, or censor for a different meaning.


Funny thing, sometimes a change in a meaning of something, can be to republish an edited thought that did not get out. That is interesting. A bias added to something is a form of an edit, as would be saying something again without that bias. I guess what is ironic is that people think of an argued position as a bias, something that makes sense and has not been shown wrong. They just say that is a bias, to not have to argue against it.
