metadata download - overwrite vs add to...

a metadata search / download will overwrite most things - author, title, cover... but it adds to summary text rather than overwrites.

so it's easy to get long summaries with duplicate text. would it not be more logical to overwrite this data

e.g. I download metadata, decide I don't really care for the cover, or the summary, so I delete ISBN, and download again, this time choosing a different match from the screen of matches. ... summary gets added to....

I'm not a fan of tags & social data so dunno if they overwrite or accumulate.

it also seems possible to add metadata to 1st page of book twice, as the book progresses through various conversions., I have seen it several times, though I cannot as yet define the process which causes it to happen.
