For many years I was head of a small section producing technical documentation: descriptive, specs., procedures, operations. etc.
The ladies who worked for me were excellent, really accurate, but even so you could be damn sure that typos would only surface AFTER printing. Typos that had been on the screen and unseen by them and me no matter how often we read the pages. Auto-correct by the brain, I am sure.
There are two ways around this: having a machine read the text aloud, and reading the document from back to front. Both time-consuming and hence expensive.
P.S. "The Perfect Code" - jolly good !
