Prose editors have various levels of edits, edits for content, edits for organization, and copy editing and finally proofreading. Yes, one should avoid misspelling words when you are about to submit a manuscript for content, but wordsmithing all the the sentences is a mistake. Likewise, one should run an auto formatter before sending a proof of concept off for review, but a reviewer who is all tied in knots about low-level nits when looking at a general proof of concept is editing at the wrong level. Otherwise you end up with a fully-baked, carefully written solution that satisfies all the nits, but was a giant waste of time because it takes the wrong overall approach.
