Bowdler does occasionally improve on the original. I'm sure that many of us will have more understanding of Othello's reasons for strangling Desdemona when he has Othello complain that "she plays the trumpet in my bed", than we might with Shakespeare more prosaic "she plays the strumpet in my bed".
