The new machine represented a major change in the way Lascaux's delicate balance of temperature and humidity had been regulated for more than three decades. The old system, installed in 1968 after years of minute studies of the cave's climate, relied on Lascaux's natural currents to pass air over a cold point and ensure...

Perhaps it was the fact that only a writer who hasn't actually been edited for decades could describe the act of removing snippets from his work as a "grisly" endeavor. Taking ideas and combining them with other ideas in order to create a new and more effective chain of thought - isn't that called editing?
