 Clarification on column

Mr. Brown,

I have a question about concerning why it is a bad to have a manuscript completely typed beforehand when you typed the query letter. Correct if I am wrong but I have heard that it is a good idea for a writer to "bank" a manuscript away just in case. Can you please explain why it is a bad idea to have some ideas saved on a hard drive or elsewhere?

I am new to the writing game and I am not understanding all of the considerations a publisher makes when he or she sees a query letter that says that the writer has idea X and has a completed manuscript available if the publisher is so inclined to look at it.

Thanks
