So I guess there is no need to ever flag a copyvio, then. Should some copyright holder ever complain, we will just change change some words in his text and the problem will go away. Well, that sure makes life a lot easier.
Well, not quite ... but that's what a rewrite is.
Why do we delete pages that start as copyvios, rather than refactoring them?
To get the revisions out of the database while it's still easy to do so. The rewriting happens on [[pagename/temp]].
