Why use synonyms in transcript vs what is actually stated?

There are two examples of synonyms being used in the transcript, instead of the exact words articulated in the video:

1) À quoi ça sert de "recycler" ses déchets? À quoi ça sert de "trier" ses déchets?

2) Sans doute, mais c'est "quand" même très utile. Sans doute, mais c'est "tout" même très utile.

Why?

Bonjour Drew,

Sorry about this - I don't know what happened, but it's corrected now. Thanks for letting us know!

Thanks Drew, have flagged it up. In the second one I actually think he says :

C'est tout de même très utile 

but it's not clear in the video...
