Like a lot of things, advice is subjective. The reasons for getting the whole story down before revising and editing are good and logical. I also know it's impossible for me to follow that advice. When I know I have a glaring mistake in the story, it's an itch I can't ignore and will distract me from finishing the draft until I fix it. The story doesn't have to be perfect and I don't feel the need to correct every little detail, but when I know a scene isn't working or there are some major plot holes or problems with the flow of one scene to another, I have to fix them before finishing the first draft. Trying to ignore them while I'm finishing the draft is like trying to ignore a wasp stinging me while I'm driving a car.
