I certainly agree that the writer lacks enough distance from the work to edit it properly. When I write something, I carefully check it myself and then even print it out and go line by line and I still find I miss something.
I think it is because I am filling in the writing with what I meant to say, not what is on paper.
So, for important writing that I am publishing, I have someone else proofread it.
The crowdsourcing idea is one I have used as well. I often give copies to beta testers to get their feedback and they catch many errors.
