imagine a post-production environment where for better or for worse, you
do 20-60 re-recording of an each section of existing vocal part to get
the sibilance correct in the context of the audio track. "use
automation!" you cry. indeed. it turns out that even people who know
better don't use automation and just keep re-recording. they use digital
tape and HDR systems now to do this so that they don't burn GB's of disk
space just trying to get the stuff right. 

hence, destructive ...
