Of course you said nothing about removing edits. 
Brian was just trying to give you an example of a
place where filepro currently has rules for data
integrity.  It does not take anything away from
filepro that these rules are available.

Because it is possible to manipulate the data in
processing the same way as in edits, It could be
argued that edits add nothing to filepro so why are
they there?

In my opinion this is not a stupid statement nor is it
putting words in your mouth.
