Well sure but authors do still proofread, they don’t just hammer out a first draft and send that to their editor without reading it. And I was talking more about proofreading for story consistency, not spelling and grammar.

Man, I wish you were right. I find German books are particularly bad, where not even the editor will care to find the obvious spelling and grammar mistakes.
It’s not the author’s job to proofread. Editors do that.

Fair, I guess I should say authors with some self-respect will proofread their own work lol
