Editing a field manually is less risky if one of the fields's value to edit is the primary key.

A common example is a client that uses a new email. Importing this client with a new email will create a second profile for that client. To avoid duplicates, you can, when possible, edit the contact's email manually. Make sure to change this info in your import file as well.
