I don't know why they allow this, but I've noticed it's something useful to get more views (and explores), so this is why I added it to the list. The "merit" is something very relative, and the only way to measure that automatically is by comments, views, etc, so I wouldn't see explore like a quality measure.

I don't know why Flickr allows that to be edited, but I don't think this is the reason. If that became common practice, it would just appear like everyone was clamouring for an Explore. Just let the photo stand up on its own merit.

In motion scenes as you said it's only possible with one raw file, maybe I didn't explain it properly, thanks for the point.

Actually, it <strong>IS</strong> possible as long as you are shooting in RAW format. Then you can create any exposure setting needed and generate some spectacular HDR photography! For example, http://www.designspectre.com/images/hdr-photos/motion-in-hdr.jpg.
