I DO understand what you are saying -- but I think we're editing all day long.
Your eyes (and ears for that matter) dart around all day long shifting attention from one subject to another. A car honks its horn -- you first look at the car -- and then focus in on the driver to learn his motivation. An associate makes an off-color remark in a group of people -- and your eye goes to a reaction shot of someone else involved in the conversation who might be sensitive to what has been said.
Your brain/eye (and brain/ear) are editing all day long. And it largely continues in the 'movie' you run at night while you are sleeping.
I'm not sure I have a point beyond that -- except to agree that good editing should be invisible -- except of course, when the decision is made to intentionally break those rules in order to illicit a specific response from the viewer.
