In that it ceases to be a human-editable format.
Its editable in the sense of "a text editor can edit it", but that's
like calling XML human-editable.
At scale, large JSON files can become something one cannot safely edit
without risking breaking the format.
( The JSON syntax rules imply a document-global parse completes, as
opposed to a line-based system that invalidity of an entry only affects
that record )
