Imagine a document absent mindedly first referring to "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" and then "KSA" for the rest of a document. How well would redactions do concealing that?

An individual redactor cannot fathom all the ways certain character lengths give away certain things that an elite mass crowd can or god forbid, A.I.

Not necessarily held back in full, but at least reformatted. We're on the verge of having OCR good enough to just make all blanked-out portions the same length.
