It's also incredibly insulting and disrespectful to Dahl to meddle with his work.
The endless critiquing & editing types should instead write new books and see if anyone's interested in their 'new' ideas.
It all reminds me of the 1980's era of putting antibiotics in plastic children's toys in case they might chew on them and get 'contaminated' by germs. We have to build up resistance along with critical reasoning skills but there's lots of evidence the kids just built up a lot of resistance to the antibiotics and the germs were good at building up immunities.
In the Victorian era 'Father Christmas' was conceptually green, skinny and 'good'. His opposite was Krampus who was bad, with lots of scary images of him carrying off terrified children.

Over time Coca cola et al made Santa's imagery fat, jolly, 'unopposed' and therefore meaningless, and now that tradition is reduced to a saccharin sweet gift giving orgy to children.
We are having similar conceptual erasure imposed on us in so many areas of society this decade and it is not going to end well.
