Why was RAW's Schrödinger's Cat trilogy cut?

Was there ever an official explanation for why Robert Anton Wilson's Schrödinger's Cat trilogy was significantly cut when it was republished in single-volume form? (I can think of several possible explanations, but what I'm looking for is explanations that came from the publisher, RAW himself, etc.)
A couple of interviews with editors -- David M. Harris and Jim Frenkel -- at Dell at the time that Illuminatus! was published. You might be able to extrapolate from what they say about that trilogy.

That trilogy was published in a one-volume form the same year as your trilogy was published in one-volume form by the same publisher (I think), so it's likely it was publisher editing decisions.
Now, Mr. Vitabellosi asks "What happened to the missing 523 pages of Principia Discordia?"
