That's why computers haven't replaced people (yet)

Anyway, this plugin just checks to see if the title is consistent with Calibre's built-in titlecase function -- so this is really a Calibre issue not a Quality Check issue

More seriously, the only way to tell if the title is capitalized the way the author intended would be to analyze the text of the document and see how the title phrases/words are capitalized in the document. There's really no way to identify what is or isn't an acronym, or what unusual capitalization the author prefers, etc. without contextual analysis -- which I think you would agree is way too much work for very little benefit.
