This is a broad statement that isn't quite accurate. A copyeditor is supposed to fix errors of grammar and spelling and make sure that grammar and spelling and style are consistent. The copyeditor does not fix other types of errors such as plot holes. They may point them out, but they do not fix them. They are not coauthors and are not paid to fulfill the role of the developmental editor.
