I wasn't even objecting to the edit in general. Just pointing out a
minor but clear error in the proposed edit that needed manual review
instead of a blind mechanical edit. These are exactly the types of
things that proposed mechanical edits should be reviewed for by the
community. Edge cases, false assumptions by the editor, local quirks,
etc.
