The point is Scott preferred the "producers' cut."
It matters not what's in the original script: is it sacrosanct?
The discussion is whether or not all these directors' cuts are somehow better, more authentic.
Think of hundreds of great films... now picture them extended almost indefinitely to three, four, five hours.
That's why God invented the producer.
You may also wish to consider what the work of an editor is at a publishing house.
