You never know... sometimes editing makes the work better - if it is done for that reason.I remember one interesting example. Bulgakov's Master and Margarita was published in one of Soviet magazines (don't recall which one), and of course everyone talked about how butchered it was.
The copy we got from someone had all the deletions inserted - typed on cigarette paper - the favorite media of the Samizdat at the time.
We spent a lot of time comparing the short and the long versions of the text, and came to the conclusion that number one the deletions were not of political nature, and number two - they didn't hurt the original, did not change the flow noticeably.
Of course one should not extrapolate such things. But I have expressed the opinion before that if the Pulp Fiction was cut to forty minutes, it would become a better movie.
