Quite likely. The documentation says voice profiles are updated each time
you use the correction window. (This may have been in the online help rather
than the manual.) In fact you are told correction is not editing and not to
use correction for editing.

There are two possible ways to make editing changes that won't confuse the
training:

1) Select the text to be changed, delete it (which erases the associated
audio data), and then dictate the new text.

2) select the text dictate the new text (this replaces the old audio data
with new data associated with the new text).

DO NOT use the correction window to make editing changes.
