Heck, it even makes sense now why most of the second draft changes not only (IMO) came out seeming clearly kludged in and clashing with the surrounding text (both thematically and in writing style),* but ended up straight up making things even worse in a lot of people's eyes: because at that point Matt had about as much idea what he was doing as anyone else, which is to say very little.
