What These Examples Show
The underlying message is simple: the damage is usually not in the original idea you wrote. It is in the copied formatting, encoding, or layout residue that got attached to the text when it moved between apps. Cleanup is about stripping away that residue without changing your meaning.
That is also why every cleaned result still deserves a quick review. Dates, names, metrics, and acronyms should always be checked against the original source before you publish or submit the text.
