Convey to them the fun of being able to look critically at the editor's choices, and teach them how much more rewarding it is to make your own decisions. They'll be better musicians for it.
I've known many singers who take an interest in making their own artistic decisions. I'm not sure that's quite the same as wanting to know who the editor of a work is. You can look at three or four editions of a song and decide which ones you like better without any reference to who made the choices or how authentic they are.
Maybe I'm a clod. I prefer Parisotti editions of those Italian songs, in spite of knowing how inauthentic they are.
