Why does a redlined MSA take hours to find the few deal-killer changes?

Reading a long redlined contract for material vs. cosmetic changes is exhausting.

Who has it: Founders, salespeople, in-house counsel at small firms.

Evidence

Lawyers and founders describe contracts coming back with many redlines, mostly formatting, and a long hunt for the few that matter.
