Comment(by thomasq):

 Sivel, the harm is that "Self-comparison detected" is lost in the middle
 of a bunch of nonsensical messages, and completely obscure to users. Let
 me stress that this is not just a theroetical concern mentioned out of
 principle considerations. I am administering a Wordpress site whose
 contributors are not geeks, and one of our editors wrote me to inquire
 about this behaviour he didn't understand at all. The fact is, even seeing
 the message, he completely failed to realize that he was comparing a
 revision with itself, which is an easy mistake to make.

 I would also like to stress that the code being obfuscated made it much
 more complicated to me to investigate this issue and find out what it was
 all about, which is more than a bit frustrating. Others here also remarked
 that this made Wordpress look amateurish and unprofessional, which is a
 pity.
