WRONG. Blame cheap publishers who won't spend for a quality proofread or edit. Proofreaders aren't lazy (no one lazy would ever go into that field, trust me!) But they are overworked, on short schedules, and getting paid a whole lot less (in real dollars) than ever, putting additional pressure on them to work faster (since it's mostly a piecework job.)
