I've been noticing for a while what some edits do not actually edit something. As in this post I understand "Dr." being changed to "Doctor", but there's also "spiritual" and "metaphysical" seem to be edited, but nothing actually changed. enter image description here

What is the reason for that?

It is usually due to a markdown change.

In this specific example I removed a couple of the > that get inserted in the middle of a sentence when you click "Insert quote" button. You can see this if you review the side-by-side markdown version.

As for why I did this, well, it's easier to edit a sentence when it's all on one line and doesn't have the > in the middle.
