It's much less obvious in emails, which are separated both logically and temporally, when people are repeating themselves. It's easy to do so by accident, and if someone is doing so maliciously, it can still be hard to actually pin down. On the other hand, change proposals are single documents. It's much easier to see when someone repeats themself within the space of a page, and won't trigger our brain's inherent "more repeats = more truth" bias as hard. ~TJ
