Agreed and depends on the writing. It's a very helpful tool though to be able to flag and highlight that sort of thing
Simple example from this piece: I scrubbed 7 instances of the word “just” from it. Obviously, Emacs can do that on their own, but you have to know to look for that word, and every other one.
