Words are used to convey thoughts and emotions, and thus are somewhat difficult to ensure those are communicated to begin with. Add in the fact that languages evolve as current cultural references become involved, and while some statements become paraphrased over time it just helps to check if the meaning retains the original expression of thought. Isn't that partially why we have an "edit" button here?

translation is based on the the person who is interpreting, many times one can not exactly translate , mine is linked to Q posts, so O suggest you go there and tell Q to edit.

I hope you don't feel I'm in any way "attacking" you. I was just illuminating the quote. See how easy words can fail to express thoughts? I wasn't suggesting you edit anything, I used that to illustrate how we try to ensure our thoughts are communicated clearly. I actually just used that function.
