to be honest the analog redaction techniques are pretty bad. For example there's a list of names, alphabetical. Two names are redacted. Michael Cohen, Richard Gates, [REDACTED], Roger Stone, and [REDACTED] (newline) [REDACTED]. The final redaction could fit approximately three letters. The fact that these are analog redactions makes it really easy to tell that the two other people are Kushner and Donald Jr. Meanwhile if they had opened the report in Word and done [REDACTED] they wouldn't have these super-basic issues. There _is_ an advantage in that you can have more confidence that the original document is merely being redacted and not completely changed, but it's not really beyond motivated people to actually change the source doc if they wanted to.
