Why does trying to edit your post immediately trip the anti-flooding mechanism

It's annoying spotting a mistake and trying to correct it before it's quoted only to have to wait for the flooding thing to time out.

Ive said about that before, but apparently its my fault for not using the "preview" button.

At least it doesn't reset the timer every time you refresh the screen.

It's often little things like autocorrect changing 'do' to 'don't' (for unfathomable reasons) which isn't always obvious but completely changes the post.
