What are your thoughts on Signal's policy for edited messages?

This post has been stuck in my craw for a few days now. I’m not a journalist, but I imagine there are cases where seeing the history of edits they missed can be helpful to reveal if a source is being consistent, making slight corrections or sizable changes to message content. Similar situations likely occur with government officials who use Signal for secure communication, where information needs to be recorded and not so flippantly malleable. The OP’s almost solipsistic insistence that the technology is faulty because they can think of a scenario or two where it could slightly inconvenient and unwillingness to imagine its value is honestly exhausting and counterproductive to actual privacy discussion. The bright side of this, I suppose, is that it has made clear to me that this is not a forum to engage in meaningful privacy discussion, and I should put me energy elsewhere. So that’s nice.
