It isn't, the change I made was from translated by human to rewritten by human, and the distinguishing bit of that change is human versus machine.

The parent was implying some kind of double standard where the "computing device" doing the change made a difference but shouldn't, and I was pointing out that the human isn't "mechanically translating", but "reinterpreting / rewriting". I just didn't write it out very clearly that the second one is the same. Will edit.
