Sue:
If you mean by "editorial review" the
same thing that I mean, why would anyone
in their [sic] right mind ever ask programmers
to do an editorial review?
By editorial review I mean everything but
technical accuracy.
I have worked with more than 100 incredibly intelligent
programmers and mediocre ones and poor ones
and have seen any "editorial review" skills in
maybe 2.
