Serious people like to look at things through a magnifying glass. Which makes them miss a lot.
I've seen printed books checked by paid professionals that consisted a "replace all" populated without context. Creating a grammar error on every single page. Or ones where everyone just forgot to add page numbers. Or a large cook book where index and page numbers didn't mach, making it almost impossible to navigate.
I'm talking of pre-AI work, with publisher. Apparently it wasn't obvious for them.
Every time you have your work "checked over by other serious people", it eliminates 90% of the mistakes. So you have it checked over twice so that 99% of mistakes have been eliminated, and so on. But it never gets to 0% mistakes. That's my experience anyway.
I think the expectation is more that serious people have their work checked over by other serious people to catch the obvious mistakes.
