Why does TVGuardian mute the phrase instead of just the offensive word?

TVGuardian mutes the entire offensive phrase instead of just the word and displays the modified text, by design. It’s too easy to fill in the blanks in your mind when only a single word is muted. Displaying the profanity free text version of the muted phrase makes your eyes focus on the text instead of the lips. The TVGuardian method makes it more difficult to know what word caused the mute.
