Nope, i thought about that, but actually you wont always know what you are
going to find, only when you do, you can compare to what you have and see
if you need to delete more or  less of what you have. For example:

This is good text. This is so-so. This one not good.

Then you think, hey, let me see if I can replace 3rd sentence, and _maybe_
I'll also replace 2nd one, _if_ I'll find something better on google.

As you can see, you _can_ delete 3rd before you'll go google, because you
100% sure that you are not going to keep it, on the other side you cannot
delete 2nd because you dont know where is you going to find a
better replacement.

I hope you understand what I'm talking about here.
