I absolutely agree with the OP. But his post reminded me of my recent experience with editing. I made up a 2-page questionnaire for a study I'm doing. Wrote it in Japanese, let it sit for a while so my eyes would be fresh, and then revised. Then I sent it to my research partner for for a grammar check. Revised it a number of times with her. Sent it to the professor of my department for his review. Sent it to the University's internal review board. Sent it to the IRB of my partner's company. We must have had at least a dozen pairs of eyes on this thing. Study was approved, we printed up 1000 copies and sent them out to be distributed. The first time I looked at the survey after we sent them out, I noticed like three different typos.
