Oh please. "Usually"?! Any errors are undesirable, but there is a spectrum between small recoverable errors and smoking holes. No need to go full drama queen. My point was only that anyone can make mistakes, and being exposed more often to a punitive culture cannot be seen as a positive move.
As Trader said, it's about the tone of the missive, not just the content. If a checker looks for problems they can always find them. Of course I think for the vast majority random checks will be a non-issue. But the overly-dismissive attitudes of some will inevitably lead to them being knocked off their high horse. Always does.
