I'm of the mind that the more invisible the editing is...the less it is noticed, the better an editor you are. People watching don't need to know what was involved in the editing process...how much footage someone had to deal with. All they need to see is how the scene plays out and how the story was crafted. And if they are so sucked in that they didn't notice the editing...BAM! Job done.
