The most significant problem with editing and re-editing over and over is that every edit is recorded in the edit history of a page, and when an editor (or administrator in my case) wants to go back through those edits and find a specific one, a million edits by one person who couldn't make all the changes they wanted in one edit makes for a lot of slogging through stuff to get to that older edit.

In any case, nobody's going to hit you over the head with a boot for it. Substantive edits to a page are sometimes necessary and we don't catch everything that needs fixing in one go. In an ideal world, we would, though.

In an ideal world, I don't threaten to hit people over the head with boots, too.
