But it is ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE for a human to act in a manner which is no more intelligent than a bot. If you are not going to read when you revert a blanking, you should leave the work to a bot which will generally do a better, faster, and more consistent job than you ... a human who is pretending to be a bot.
You contradict yourself. If you leave it to the bot, you are assuming it is more intelligent than you are, or, you are just ignoring a problem. Why leave something for a bot, that you could have done on sight. The edit in the first post was a short edit. Do you really really expect everyone to, 1) wait for a bot, which may or may not come, or 2) to read the entirety of every edit which can be comfortably, with a large margin, to be considered vandalism. Bots are not more consistent with their intelligence, they are just plain dumb. Consistency in your context does not mean the intelligent consistency.
