When reading such comments, I think how lucky I am to be a bad proofreader. It hurts my posts, but it also means I miss such distractions.
I'd think superior fiction editing, big publishing or otherwise, results in sharper characterizations more consistent with characters's actions. I can indeed imagine that spelling isn't affected.
