> who does that?

Programmers do it all day ... with text files.

Would you say the same thing if when you deleted some code it would actually still be there at the end of the file, after two pages of spaces?

When you delete something and save it in a "final" format (like a PNG), you expect nothing which was deleted to be there.

I don't think the comment was about expected behavior. It's about who would be suspetible to this. Saving text files is fine all the time, you're right. They're saying, how often do people perform the steps in that order?
