I think the argument is that people can go back and change posts that have already received replies, and it screws up the chronology of the posts. The disadvantage is that you can't write dumb shit, and then pretend it didn't happen a few hours later.
Yeah, pretty much if it takes longer than 15 minutes to figure out you wrote something dumb then you should have to live with it.
