That's precisely what distinguishes the Huckleberry Finn case from say the Ulysees or On the Road one. The tinkering with novels by Joyce and Kerouac was aimed at disclosing what those doing the tinkering felt to be the 'truest' versions of those books. It's debatable whether they achieved that but the intent remains the same. Either way, it's an entirely different thing to want to conceal parts of them: one being motivated by a love of literature, the other by a suspicion of it.
