I didn't ignore it, just that quality check doesn't provide a convenient way to do them both at once, so I did them one at a time. Also, the non-replacable cover test caught only another ~6% and most of those it caught only after they had already been repaired.
Yes, I agree, they both need to be done. Please realize that I did it that way not to prove a point, but to actually clean up problems I missed on the last pass through my library.
I did understand that you don't think the checks are accurate, and I appreciate anything that can reduce the number of books I have to check by hand. Actually, I think the replaceable/non-replaceable checks probably are accurate enough, between them I didn't find any false positives of books needing fixing.
I just checked, and the calibre SVG cover test is not helpful for this purpose. Too many false positives; about 250 books fail this test, many with hand generated covers made in calibre. (No false negatives -- it found ~600 books all with automatically generated covers.)
